Qwoted 100: Recognizing Trailblazing Talent in PR

For many PR professionals, recognition often comes from annual awards that may not acknowledge their day-to-day efforts in securing media coverage. That’s why we feel it’s important to celebrate the top performers in PR with the Qwoted 100. 

The Qwoted 100 isn’t just another industry list. It’s data-driven recognition based on real-time performance metrics across the Qwoted platform. We’re talking hard data on how effectively freelance, in-house, and agency PR pros connect with journalists and create compelling narratives on a day-to-day basis. 

How Qwoted 100 Works

We measure ongoing interactions between PR professionals and journalists, making every pitch and response count. 

What We Measure: Our algorithm looks at metrics such as response speed, reporter feedback, pitch success rates, and more. We focus on objective, metric-based data, so if you’re consistently delivering top-tier pitches, you’ll earn well-deserved recognition on the Qwoted 100. 

Quarterly Refresh: PR is a fast-paced industry, and we want to celebrate those who continually adapt and deliver results. Updating the list quarterly means it’s always fresh, and if you have a few standout months, you could see your name on the leaderboard. 

Recognition On-the-Go: Worried about switching roles impacting your spot on the list? Don’t be! Once you earn your spot on the Qwoted 100, it stays with you all quarter, regardless of any career moves.

Setting You Up for Success

We are proud of the incredible PR pros in our network and want to give you the tools you need to succeed. 

Here are some network-specific features to support your PR efforts: 

Topical Alerts: Set your preferred industry and interests so you’ll get notifications any time a journalist query matches your beat. That way, you can pitch faster without sifting through irrelevant opportunities. 

Personal Profiles & Relationship Building: We’re big on building real connections between newsmakers. That’s why we encourage our PR pros to keep your profiles updated with media wins, relevant achievements, and the roster of experts you represent. Adding a profile picture helps you stand out to journalists as they search our central PR database, making it easier for media users to reach out directly if they’re interested in hearing from you or any of your experts. 

Ready, Set, Pitch!

To give you a leg up on next quarter’s list, here’s a quick tip:
