Not enough data
Simon Harvey's coverage predominantly focuses on the food industry, particularly in the UK and European markets. He heavily features press releases and private sector announcements, demonstrating a preference for official business communications. Therefore, he may be more responsive to pitches that involve exclusive interviews or insights from company executives regarding mergers, acquisitions, market expansions or challenges within the food industry.
Given his emphasis on citing data as well as themes such as sales & marketing and business & industry, Simon might also appreciate pitches that include proprietary research findings or unique data-driven analyses related to retail trends, consumer behaviors in the food sector, or innovative marketing strategies.
It’s important to note that Simon appears to concentrate on specific companies and their activities within the food industry; therefore relevant expertise would require an understanding of these markets along with potential impacts resulting from mergers/acquisitions and shifts in retail dynamics.
