PRophet was launched in October 2020 as part of MDC Partners, with the aim of helping brands and organizations perfect and refine their earned media strategies before going to market with a pitch, guided by the platform’s proprietary combination of artificial intelligence, natural language processing and machine learning technologies. PRophet analyzes past stories and compares a brand’s press release or pitch to predict media interest and sentiment.
