What is Qwoted?
Qwoted is a media relations platform that connects journalists with expert sources, PR professionals and brands. Reporters post requests for expert comment or products, and experts or their PR representatives pitch answers through the platform. Journalists can also search an expert database to find sources directly. For marketers, it is a way to win press mentions and the editorial links that often come with them.
Qwoted works for three groups. Journalists use it free to find sources quickly. Experts build a profile with their topics and respond to requests. PR and marketing teams pitch their clients and manage several experts. A free Basic plan allows a few pitches each month, while paid plans add more pitches, instant delivery and coverage support.
