What’s Prowly?

Prowly is a public relations SaaS tool acquired by Semrush in 2020. Like Marketing and Sales CRMs and Marketing automation tools, PR CRMs are now part of the Marketing Technology stacks, thanks to companies like Prowley.

By announcing new PR SaaS tool features, Prowly has further broadened its scope of service with Media Monitoring. This product completes the key components in a PR workflow, making Prowly a fully automated tool for PR professionals that provides a f*********, monthly subscription plans and affordable pricing.

At the time of this announcement, Sebastian Przyborowski, co-founder and Chief Product Officer, spoke to AiThority.com.

Here’s what Sebastian had to say about the new product roadmap.

AIThority.com: Which technologies are influencing the global PR and Media intelligence companies?

Sebastian: “The big trend which is impacting not only the PR industry, but the tech world overall, is GPT-3 autoregressive language. It consists of 10x more variables (175B) used to train the model, which allows it to generate human-like text almost impossible to distinguish from an extract written by a real person. Very soon GPT-3 and its future alterations will create such sophisticated automated content generation that will allow it to modify itself in real-time to best fit the context that AI finds the most fitting.

In Prowly, thanks to text analysis, categorization, and context-conscious technologies we are able to not only thoroughly scan content with high confidence but also do it in a very short time. That allows us to propose actionable insights based solely on pure text analysis eg. suggesting which journalists to pitch, based on their beats.”

AIThority.com: How is Prowly’s SaaS tool for PR teams influence integrated marketing communication strategies? How do you measure the ROMI of these efforts at Prowly?

Sebastian: “Prowly offers users a complete PR workflow, allowing to optimize their work time and automate a number of repetitive tasks eg. creating media lists using Prowly’s media database and setting up automated follow-ups to pitches. We are able to track open rates, click rates, and response rates, but more importantly, use media monitoring to generate a list of articles and outlets where our story was covered.

Our reporting system provides metrics for every step of media relations activities and in the end, we offer over one thousand different configurations of reports, which include all sorts of different metrics that our customers can act upon – from classic ones such as AVE, through advanced sentiment analysis, reach estimation and backlink analysis”

Joanna Drabent, Prowly’s Chief Executive Officer said –

“Our strategic goal is to become the market leader in the PR software industry. By launching Media Monitoring, we are turning our vision into reality and addressing one of the biggest challenges in the modern public relations world – measuring the impact of your PR initiatives. Many of our customers face this problem, and we’re excited to provide them with a solution by releasing one of the biggest product updates in Prowly’s history.”
