In my example, I was actually able to nudge a recruiting coordinator for the company who I found on LinkedIn, who told me they would make sure my app got some eyes on it (did they actually do that? who can say?).

But in the general case, it's not clear who you'd reach out to. There's not usually an email given - you toss your resume into the pile and hope someone calls you.

Yes, big cooperations are different. I did apply at a design company and assumed my application was just one of many and did not appeal to them. It turned out they had just messed up and forgot to set up an interview.
