Qwoted democratizes access to the earned media by leveling the playing field. Traditionally, getting in front of journalists meant having the right connections or the budget to hire a big PR firm. Qwoted opens that door for everyone, from solo experts to small businesses to seasoned PR professionals, by giving all sources direct access to journalists who are actively looking for them.
It does that by connecting sources with journalists, editors, podcasters, and other media creators who are actively seeking expertise for their stories. When a reporter needs a source, they post a Call for Experts on Qwoted describing what they're looking for. You can browse those posts and pitch yourself or your clients directly to the journalists behind them. No cold outreach, no guessing who covers what. Just real opportunities from real media professionals who want to hear from you.
Whether you're a PR professional managing a roster of clients or an expert representing yourself, Qwoted gives you a direct line to the media moments that matter.

What Is Earned Media?
Earned media is coverage you get because a journalist or media creator chose to feature you, not because you paid for placement. It's also called organic media, and it can take a lot of forms:
A quote in an industry publication
A feature article about you or your business
A social media mention from a media outlet or journalist
This kind of coverage tends to carry more weight than paid advertising because it implies a genuine connection between you and the media. It builds credibility, grows brand awareness, and signals authority in your field. Qwoted is built to help you earn exactly this kind of coverage.
By responding to Calls for Experts with relevant expertise, you're not just chasing a single placement. You're building real relationships with journalists and content creators who will remember you when the next story comes around.
