MikeWorldWide launches PRISMA Labs.ai, a proprietary platform that fuses PR, AI and strategic marketing intelligence. PRISMA Labs.ai’s strategic capabilities include real-time brand intelligence, reputation strategy & stakeholder engagement, predictive messaging & narrative testing, audience & influence insights, and custom agents & executive AI enablement. The first solution introduced from the new platform is PreBunk, named for the proactive approach of "de-bunking" misinformation before it takes hold. "Your brand no longer lives just on your website, in earned media, or on social—it lives in the answers AI delivers," said MWW president of reputation Carreen Winters. "PreBunk empowers organizations to see what's being said, identify vulnerabilities, and reinforce their narrative with authority—because AI is now a critical stakeholder in brand reputation."
