Qwoted, a platform designed to help the media connect with expert sources, launches the “Qwoted 100,” which ranks the PR professionals “with the best stories to tell and the most compelling way of telling them.”
Factors used to assemble the list from the platform’s more than 40,000 users included the number of positive interactions with media, response speed to media and hit rate of pitches to responses from media.
New rankings will be announced quarterly and users included in the ranking will see their Qwoted profiles upgraded with a "Qwoted 100" designation, which will also be visible to media.
“As Qwoted's network grows, we're able to identify major trends between the two sides of the platform, including the reputation of our PR users in the eyes of our media users,” said Qwoted co-founder and chief revenue officer Matthew Kneller.
