New Partnership Gives Harris Poll Clients Access to PRophet's AI-Driven PR Software to Inform Survey Design and Maximize Press Coverage of Research Results

NEW YORK, June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- PRophet, the first-ever AI-driven PR pitch platform built by and for PR professionals that predicts media interest and sentiment, today announced a partnership with leading global market research and consulting firm, The Harris Poll, that will maximize results for Harris clients and provide access to PRophet's innovative platform. Both firms sit within Stagwell (NASDAQ: STGW), the challenger network built to transform marketing.

Through this partnership, Harris Poll clients will receive access to the innovative PRophet software platform to test the "mediability" of their research before conducting survey field work, to confirm the data they seek will in fact be of interest to journalists. Upon survey completion, Harris clients can then use PRophet's machine learning and natural language processing technology to test the news angle of their poll to identify the journalists most likely to cover their story and predict how positively they'd write about the results.

"For nearly two years, PRophet's focus has remained exclusively on improving the earned media performance of PR professionals. We do this by making teams smarter and more performative, slashing countless hours that brands and agency teams spend on mindless tasks such as media list building and patchwork PR pitch guessing games," said Aaron Kwittken, founder and CEO PRophet. "We are thrilled to now bring our predictive technology to support the construction and execution of the critical research completed by those same brands and agencies in conjunction with the highly acclaimed, global research leader, The Harris Poll."

Clients of The Harris Poll will receive and maintain access to the PRophet platform through completion of the marketing efforts around the poll's results. Clients will then have the option to extend their access to the platform via PRophet's monthly pay-as-you-go subscription or through an enterprise subscription available to brands and agencies.

"PRophet is a first-class PR performance platform that will help our clients optimize the design of their thought leadership surveys and improve internal media strategies that lead to even greater performance of their PR campaigns," said Erica Parker, Managing Director of the Media Communications Research Practice at The Harris Poll. "Journalist interest will always be an essential part of every thought leadership project, as it bridges the critical gap between content owner and visibility among critical stakeholders, including the public. Our partnership with PRophet will lead to even more compelling surveys for our clients while helping them perfect their media outreach."
