The PR for start-ups market explained

On the PRmoment Podcast this week with me Ben Smith we’re talking to Nick Braund, founder of Words and Pixels about the PR for start-ups market.

Nick founded Words and Pixels in 2020, it has a fee income of just over £1 million, grew by 300% in 2021 and specialises in the PR for start-up scene.

Just a nudge to remind you all about the final deadline for The Creative Moment Awards on Friday 1st July 2022.
