Stagwell (STGW) Platform Enhancements Allow Users to Generate up to 25 Personalized Pitches to Reporters in Under Three Minutes and Create Executive Biographies in Seconds

NEW YORK, July 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — PRophet, the first and only generative and predictive AI SaaS platform built by and for PR professionals, today announced two new platform updates – a Multi Pitch Generator and a Biography Generator.

Launched in 2020, PRophet is the pioneer of AI-based technology in the PR industry, with the richest feature set in the market driven by the emerging need for technology that supports modern communications professionals. According to Purposeful Relations and PRovoke’s Global CommTech Report, which was supported in part by PRophet, 43% of the surveyed communications professionals intend to increase their investment in communication technology within the next 12 months, with 71% viewing AI as an opportunity for the industry.

The new tools build on the existing PRophet platform, which uses a combination of AI, natural language processing and machine learning to generate, analyze and test new content that predicts earned media interest and sentiment.

• The Multi-Pitch Generator feature, which is exclusive to enterprise customers, enables users to generate personalized pitches for up to 25 reporters in under three minutes. Users have the option to adjust the structure of each pitch, from “short and to the point” to “elaborative,” to best suit each reporter, as well as appropriate tone preferences, such as professional, friendly, bold, persuasive, technical, emotive, and more.
• The Biography Generator also uses AI to take the mundane out of an everyday and tedious task: All customers now have the capability to generate an executive biography in seconds simply by inputting a LinkedIn URL.

“PRophet is a trailblazer that continues to disrupt the PR industry with unmatched AI capabilities. The Multi-Pitch Generator and Biography Generator features reflect our appreciation for the real-life needs of today’s comms professionals and our commitment to empowering them with cutting-edge technology,” said Aaron Kwittken, founder and CEO of PRophet. “We’re constantly working to improve PRophet, setting new standards for efficiency and productivity so that Communications Engineers© can work in parallel with technology.”

Today’s announcement follows a strong quarter of growth for PRophet – which included forging strategic alliances with LexisNexis and PeakMetrics, and the unveiling of “Powered by PRophet,” an innovative white labeling option that allows agencies and brands to effortlessly incorporate PRophet’s cutting-edge platform into their existing communications technology stacks.

With more than 1,500 users to date across brands and agencies, the company is driven by its mission to democratize AI solutions for communications professionals, empowering them to be more performative, predictive, and productive.

“We’ve made incredible inroads in shared AR since piloting this app with the Twins last August, consistently refining the platform in response to fan and team feedback,” said ARound Founder and CEO Josh Beatty. “Incorporating stats into the experience was a frequent request. Now, as we enter our second season with the Twins, we’re excited to bring forward a more advanced experience, integrating richer visualizations and AR entertainment to captivate fans of all kinds.” 

Major League statistics bring game-changing new features
With Official MLB statistics licensed from Sportradar launching for the first time in the new Twins AR experience, fans can delve into the world of live statistics and data visualization. With a new level of immersion, fans can use their smartphone to view real-time advanced statistics and historical data overlaid directly on the field, customized to match the real-life field view from where the fan is sitting. This adds a captivating layer of interactivity to the in-ballpark experience. 

Taking fan engagement to new heights, ARound has seamlessly integrated with real-time sports APIs, providing visual game data and automated effects connected to key moments of the game. This new feature amplifies the excitement of live baseball, transforming the way fans connect with the action on the field including: 

• Real-Time Player and Team Statistics: Fans can access real-time advanced statistics like spray charts, exit velocity and launch angles – all with a visual overlay matching their in-ballpark viewing angle at Target Field. This can help fans better understand player performance and make the game more engaging.
• Historical Data Visualization: With new historical data now available for display for players and teams, providing context and comparison to past performances.
• Interactive Data Experience: The statistics feed will allow fans to interact with sports data in unique and immersive ways, including AR games and experiences that incorporate live gameplay and statistics.
• Live Game Analysis: The integration of real-time sports APIs allows for a live analysis and replay of the action as the game unfolds.
• Educational Tool: For those new to the sport or those wanting to learn more, the ARound app can act as an educational tool, providing both entertainment and explanations of live action, including real-time player and team performance.

“We are thrilled to introduce our fans to this next-level experience that will resonate with avid and casual fans alike,” said Minnesota Twins Senior Director of Innovation and Growth Chris Iles. “These broadcast-style data visualizations served in real-time, and customized to where fans are in Target Field, have the potential to significantly enhance the way fans enjoy Twins games while bridging generations of baseball fans.” 

ARound, which built upon its 2022 success at Target Field with integrations for the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium, the Cleveland Cavaliers at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse, and the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium, plans to further innovate and enhance the fan experience this season in baseball and beyond through shared stadium AR, especially around data-driven experiences connected to fans and live events.
