For Communication and PR professionals that requires the right media contacts database. A database that allows you to: discover the right contacts, build and manage meaningful connections, directly engage your chosen contacts, and analyze your success to drive continuous improvement. All while constantly evolving and keeping up to date with the dynamic nature of the media landscape to make sure you have access to the freshest contact data possible. 

That's why Pulsar CONTACTS was built.

Packed with tools to elevate your proactive media activities, CONTACTS offers unmatched scale across millions of global contacts and outlets.

CONTACTS connects you to the broadest range of accurate and verified contacts globally. Search beyond traditional media journalists, newsrooms, and editorial teams to social influencers, podcasters, bloggers, and even leading academics and contributors so you can find, research, connect, and engage the right contacts to amplify your story.

The quality of any media database is directly tied to the quality of its data. As the media environment continues to accelerate and evolve in unpredictable ways, it’s easy for media databases to become outdated and marred by quality issues. 

Out-of-date, irrelevant, or inaccurate databases risk your message going unheard and your story not being told to it’s fullest potential. Imagine finding out the profiles, contact details, or data of the people you’ve chosen as the best bet to amplify your story are out of date and you’ve missed your opportunity to maximize your outreach, and wasted precious time and resources. 

That’s what sets Pulsar CONTACTS apart. 

It contains the most complete, accurate, and up-to-date data driven by an innovative combination of tech, AI, and human research to create the most dynamic database. 

Our generative contacts pipeline extracts real-time news data from the 5 million articles we ingest daily, leveraging our proprietary media graph to map and connect news and real-world entities and ensure the most up-to-date contacts and outlets search possible. 

AI-enrichment analyzes diverse data sources to create the deepest and richest multi-dimensional contact profiles. CONTACTS has seen as many as 30,000 updates a day - a rate impossible to match with old-school 1:1 media research methods - including identifying real-time changes in job roles and “beats” to ensure the most accurate and up-to-date profile data. 

Advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Named Entity Recognition (NER) allow us to discover new real-world contacts as new data sources emerge or existing data changes, continually evolving and growing the database. At the time of writing, we’re uncovering thousands of new contacts each month, on top of the millions of global contacts and outlets already in the database. 

New entities are identified and extracted in real time, allowing you to immediately discover and engage contacts and experts covering new people and emerging topics. Whether you're working on a product launch, a brand campaign, or doing outreach for a thought leadership opportunity, see who’s writing about it in real time. 

This innovative technology supports the freshest data and is complemented by our specialist in-house research team who are continually verifying contacts to check for nuance and ensure the highest quality of data. A best-of-both-worlds approach, unlocking results beyond what’s possible using traditional methods.
