PRophet, an AI-driven PR pitch platform and The Harris Poll, both part of Stagwell, are partnering on an initiative that will give Harris clients access to PRophet’s platform. The joint effort enables Harris Poll clients to test the “mediability” of their research before conducting survey fieldwork. After completing their poll, they can then use PRophet’s technology to test its news angle and identify the journalists most likely to cover their story and predict how positively they’d write about it. “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,” said . Our partnership with PRophet will lead to even more compelling surveys for our clients while helping them perfect their media outreach,” said Erica Parker, managing director of the Media Communications Research Practice at The Harris Poll.
