4 things Big Ears does for you, every day.
Get more placements. Act faster. Save time. Enjoy your work more!
Reads everything
We monitor 1M+ news sources 24/7
Every article, podcast, and announcement in your space, scanned overnight while you sleep.
Ranks the opportunities
Top 10 ready by 8am
Each story scored 0 to 100 for PR fit, with a clear reason. You skim the top ten and ignore the rest.
Drafts the pitch
Written in your voice
Tailored to the journalist, with their email already attached. You edit and hit send.
Runs your pipeline
Updated automatically
Every pitch tracked from idea to placement. No spreadsheets, no copy-paste, no lost threads.
Built for everything PR teams actually do.
Eight agents working in your background. One unified pipeline up front.
Media monitoring that actually reads
Every article in your space, scored 0 to 100 for relevance to your brand by an LLM that knows your positioning, your products, and what your CEO actually wants to be quoted about. Skim the top ten, ignore the rest.
Opportunity ranking
We don't surface news, we surface pitchable angles. Each opportunity comes with a suggested journalist, a draft pitch, the rationale, and a confidence score. Click to send, edit, or pass.
Pitches drafted in your voice
Feed us your past coverage, brand guidelines, and a few sample pitches. The drafts that come back read like you wrote them at your best, not like a generic AI assistant after three cups of coffee.
Journalist CRM with verified emails
Every reporter you've ever worked with, plus everyone covering your space, with verified emails, beat history, recent articles, and your past conversations. No exporting from one tool and pasting into another.
Podcast discovery and pitching
We map every podcast in your category, surface guest fit, find the booker, and draft the pitch. Niche shows other tools don't even know exist are scored alongside the household names.
Competitive intelligence
Track every mention, hire, product launch, and exec quote across your competitors. Daily diffs land in your inbox, weekly narratives in your dashboard, with the receipts for everything.
Coverage tracking and reporting
Every piece of coverage stitched to the pitch that won it, the journalist who wrote it, and the reach it pulled. White-label exports for clients, internal dashboards for the boss, no Powerpoint required.
Social listening, in context
Brand mentions, competitor chatter, journalist tweets, and trending narratives, filtered for what's actually worth reacting to. The noise stays out, the signal lands in your daily brief.
Built by PR people, for PR people.
Big Ears wasn't built by software people who heard PR was hard. It was built by founders who've spent years pitching journalists, hunting trends, and managing client coverage in spreadsheets.
I worked in PR for years. The part I hated was all the manual hunting for opportunities.
My inbox was full of Google Alerts I couldn't keep up with. Every day I'd struggle to stay on top of the news and the opportunities buried in it.
Then, I'd have clients demanding TechCrunch or Forbes, while I struggled to find time to come up with unique pitch angles.
And everything was tracked in a gross Google Sheet that gave me anxiety every time I opened it.
That's why I built Big Ears.
It fixes the pains in PR workflows, saves you the time, and brings the fun back!

Founders doing their own PR
You don't have a comms team yet, but you've got a story worth telling. Big Ears acts as the AI press officer you can't afford to hire, finding the right journalists, drafting the pitches, and managing the follow-ups while you run the company.
