We had the good fortune of connecting with Hermest Benoit and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Hermest, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
To make a long story short, I felt the need to change the way people experience and interact with content. In the same effort also change how businesses appeal to their customer base through media and advertisements. As someone growing up in the pop up ad and subscription based service age, it became obvious to me that current way of media advertisement and content consumption is over due for a new contrasting way of looking at the market.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
OPAH is a company which currently produces video content products that offer a new and introspective form of digital media creation. While this is currently the main focus of the company; we plan on expanding to help merge the world of information technology, film, and digital media. In doing so, OPAH will create a new form of content experience and consumption for clients and consumers. Using industry standard equipment and our natural ambition to produce revolutionary content; we strive to deliver and complete our objectives while never being afraid to step outside the box. As we move forward to an age where content consumption is only rising. It is important to the validity of innovative companies to realize that the traditional way of advertising will soon become ineffective. The truest way to sell something, is to let it sell itself. Through OPAH’s products our customers will be able to create an experience their customers buy into, rather than forcibly trying to sell them something they have no intention of buying. We are in the long run working towards the best interest of those who are sold to.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
It’s sad to say but I am not very knowledgeable on locations in Miami. It is something that I as South Floridian that I am not very proud to admit. But if there was one place I could recommend is Art Tech house. One of the best places to visit when coming to Miami.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I have always believed that the story of one man is the history of all men. There are too many in my life to thank but they are aware of my gratefulness to them. Like many people would do in a scenario like this one, I could thank friends, family, idols, etc. But they all fall under one umbrella, the experience of life. All those who I remain thankful for have been apart of this crazy thing we all go through everyday, while we can. For that I am forever thankful and will always get my biggest shoutout.
