I also write for several media channels including Forbes, The Times Of Israel, New York Tech, Tipranks, Newsbreak, The VentureCation, Hackernoon, Vocal Media, Benzinga, and more. I have a video series called “Startups On Demand” Omri Hurwitz Media Interesting! What was your latest Hackernoon article about? It was titled . In the article, I linked several B2B marketing tactics to NBA personas as an analogy. I truly believe that metaphors and analogies are really powerful in helping readers get a better grasp of what you are trying to say. “What if B2B marketing tactics were NBA players” Do you usually write on similar topics? If not, what do you usually write about? For each publication I write for, I try to structure my writing to its audience. For example, for my I write about certain tech industry trends, while in my column, I highlight and feature individual tech leaders. On Hackernoon I focus more on writing about my own expertise in Public Relations and Media. Forbes column Times Of Israel Great! What is your usual writing routine like (if you have one?) I am a big believer in deep work, that has been publicized efficiently by . While I haven’t read the book yet, I have heard him on podcasts, as well as read some summaries. I make sure to plan (calender) focused hours in my day where I concentrate only on doing deep work like writing, interviewing, or producing my video series. In our society, which is filled with so much noise, being able to do deep work, and focus for long periods of time, is probably the most valuable skill there is. Cal Newport’s book Being a writer in tech can be a challenge. It’s not often our main role, but an addition to another one. What is the biggest challenge you have when it comes to writing? That’s a great point.  I think the challenge is to find editors, who are willing to let their contributors or staff writers write freely about the actual technology or product. Thankfully, I have found great editors who let me do that. But, some tech publications only focus on funding announcements and click baits. Hopefully, awesome tech publications like Hackernoon and , are paving the way to actually write and talk about products and services. New York Tech Media What is the next thing you hope to achieve in your career? The main focus right now is to continue expanding our media agency.

This leads to more prospects who reach out and want to work with us. Another focus is to continue to expand my writing portfolio and write and collab, with leading media publications. Wow, that’s admirable. Now, something more casual: What is your guilty pleasure of choice? I don’t think you should have guilt about enjoying pleasure.
