Before starting the company, I spent my career in enterprise AI and analytics sales at companies like IBM, Oracle, and App Annie, where I helped clients generate millions in revenue through AI-powered solutions <a href=\"https:\/\/prescientai.com\/company\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[1]<\/a>. I hold a B.S. in Marketing from Salve Regina University.<\/p>\n<p>I founded Prescient AI in 2019, and honestly, it didn&#8217;t start where it is today. We originally set out to build a predictive model for the music industry \u2014 helping artists figure out optimal tour schedules and venue recommendations. When COVID-19 hit, and live events disappeared overnight, we had to pivot fast. That&#8217;s when we turned our focus to solving marketing attribution and measurement challenges in e-commerce <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fermatcommerce.com\/institute-content\/michael-true-ceo-co-founder-prescient-ai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[4]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Prescient is an advanced Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) platform serving 100+ omnichannel brands \u2014 including Saatva, Hexclad, Jones Road, MaryRuth\u2019s, and Coterie \u2014 and we raised $20M from investors including Headline and Blumberg Capital <a href=\"https:\/\/www.5yearfrontier.focal.vc\/p\/future-of-advertising-with-prescient-ai-ceo-mike-true-5yf-28\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[9]<\/a>. We work without pixels or cookies, deliver actionable insights within 36 hours, and can forecast future campaign performance three months out with around 90% accuracy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/prescient-ai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[3]<\/a>. In July 2025, we launched what we believe is the first fundamentally new MMM framework built entirely from scratch since the technology was first introduced in the 1960s <a href=\"https:\/\/ppc.land\/prescient-ai-unveils-first-fundamentally-new-marketing-mix-model-since-1960s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[17]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>How are brands today using predictive AI to power measurement and attribution tactics in modern marketing workflows?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>What I&#8217;m seeing is a real shift \u2014 brands are moving away from piecing together siloed ad platform reports and toward unified, AI-driven measurement. At Prescient, our approach is built on dynamic MMM, which is a statistical, probabilistic model that ingests data from ad platforms, Shopify, Amazon, Google Analytics, and even offline sources to help brands understand which channels are truly driving revenue <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkroomagency.com\/observatory\/mmm-explained-why-media-mix-modeling-matters-now\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[14]<\/a>. Unlike the old Nielsen-style annual MMM studies, our model refreshes every single day, so marketers can reallocate budgets and optimize campaigns in near real time <a href=\"https:\/\/pod.wave.co\/podcast\/limited-supply-932c8204-6a52-4e70-9e00-11c637e2eda6\/s12-e6-redefining-media-and-marketing-measurement-with-michael-true-ceo-of-presc-c1eccb95\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[12]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The brands I work with are using predictive AI in a few powerful ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Measuring halo effects<\/strong>: We help brands quantify how upper-funnel channels like YouTube or CTV indirectly drive Amazon or retail sales. Br\u00fcMate, for example, discovered that nearly 20% of its CTV-driven revenue came through Amazon \u2014 something its traditional tools had completely missed <a href=\"https:\/\/prescientai.com\/blog\/media-mix-modeling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[11]<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Running budget simulations<\/strong>: Our Optimizer tool lets marketers model different budget reallocation scenarios and get predictive media plans back in seconds <a href=\"https:\/\/pod.wave.co\/podcast\/limited-supply-932c8204-6a52-4e70-9e00-11c637e2eda6\/s12-e6-redefining-media-and-marketing-measurement-with-michael-true-ceo-of-presc-c1eccb95\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[12]<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Triangulating measurement<\/strong>: I always tell our clients, don&#8217;t rely on just one source.

That means entire categories of high-performing channels get systematically undervalued or ignored entirely. I&#8217;ve said this many times: &#8220;MTA is great for click-based channels, but it&#8217;s not very good for something like linear TV, connected TV, podcasts, YouTube, or TikTok \u2014 where they&#8217;re more view-based channels.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/pod.wave.co\/podcast\/limited-supply-932c8204-6a52-4e70-9e00-11c637e2eda6\/s12-e6-redefining-media-and-marketing-measurement-with-michael-true-ceo-of-presc-c1eccb95\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[12]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>There are a few other issues I see constantly:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Platform-reported ROAS is inflated and overlapping<\/strong>: Every channel claims credit for the same sale. I&#8217;ve seen a brand running nine channels with search ROAS ranging from 298% to 1,750% \u2014 that&#8217;s clearly impossible when channels overlap that heavily <a href=\"https:\/\/ecommercecoffeebreak.com\/marketing-mix-modeling-how-multi-channel-brands-stop-wasting-ad-spend\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[16]<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>iOS 14+ and privacy regulations have broken pixel-based tracking<\/strong>: The signal loss is real, and it&#8217;s only going to get worse. Relying on MTA or last-click in a post-iOS 14 world means you&#8217;re making decisions on incomplete data <a href=\"https:\/\/www.5yearfrontier.focal.vc\/p\/future-of-advertising-with-prescient-ai-ceo-mike-true-5yf-28\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[19]<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No single tool should be your &#8220;source of truth&#8221;<\/strong>: I&#8217;m very direct with all of our clients about this \u2014 &#8220;The MMM is not your source of truth.

Our CTO Cody Greco and I made a deliberate decision early on that we weren&#8217;t going to do that. As Cody put it, &#8220;Building on old technology would limit our ability to solve the complex measurement challenges facing today&#8217;s marketers.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/ppc.land\/prescient-ai-unveils-first-fundamentally-new-marketing-mix-model-since-1960s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[17]<\/a> That&#8217;s why in July 2025, we launched a completely new MMM framework built from the ground up.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Over-indexing on bottom-of-funnel Google and Meta<\/strong>: I see this all the time \u2014 the majority of budgets flowing into easily trackable, bottom-funnel channels while upper-funnel brand investments go unmeasured and underinvested <a href=\"https:\/\/www.focal.vc\/transcripts\/5yf-episode-28-prescient-ai-co-founder-ceo-michael-true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[7]<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trusting a single measurement source<\/strong>: Any marketer who relies on just platform-reported ROAS or a single attribution tool is seeing a dangerously incomplete picture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Accepting slow time-to-value<\/strong>: Legacy solutions have been clunky, expensive, and take months to onboard.

The privacy-first internet isn&#8217;t a future scenario \u2014 it&#8217;s already here <a href=\"https:\/\/www.5yearfrontier.focal.vc\/p\/future-of-advertising-with-prescient-ai-ceo-mike-true-5yf-28\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[19]<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Advertising on autopilot<\/strong>: The era of semi-manual media buying is fading fast.

Triangulate your measurement<\/strong> \u2014 Never put all your trust in a single attribution model. Use MMM, incrementality testing, MTA, and post-purchase surveys together. Each one tells part of the story <a href=\"https:\/\/www.focal.vc\/transcripts\/5yf-episode-28-prescient-ai-co-founder-ceo-michael-true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[15]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Give upper-funnel channels a fair shot<\/strong> \u2014 Stop penalizing CTV, podcasts, or YouTube for not generating clicks. Use view-based and halo-effect measurement to reveal what they&#8217;re really contributing to your bottom line <a href=\"https:\/\/pod.wave.co\/podcast\/limited-supply-932c8204-6a52-4e70-9e00-11c637e2eda6\/s12-e6-redefining-media-and-marketing-measurement-with-michael-true-ceo-of-presc-c1eccb95\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[12]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Future-proof your martech stack against data loss<\/strong> \u2014 Build infrastructure that doesn&#8217;t depend on cookies or pixels. That transition is already underway, and brands that wait will be caught flat-footed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.5yearfrontier.focal.vc\/p\/future-of-advertising-with-prescient-ai-ceo-mike-true-5yf-28\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[19]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Demand speed from your measurement tools<\/strong> \u2014 If your MMM only updates quarterly, it&#8217;s too slow to be useful. Modern platforms should recalibrate daily and deliver insights within 36 hours. Agility is the whole point <a href=\"https:\/\/pod.wave.co\/podcast\/limited-supply-932c8204-6a52-4e70-9e00-11c637e2eda6\/s12-e6-redefining-media-and-marketing-measurement-with-michael-true-ceo-of-presc-c1eccb95\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[12]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Remember: you are the source of truth<\/strong> \u2014 AI models are incredibly powerful advisors, but they don&#8217;t replace the marketer. You&#8217;re the one synthesizing data, culture, creativity, and business context to make the final call. Lean on the models, but trust yourself <a href=\"https:\/\/www.focal.vc\/transcripts\/5yf-episode-28-prescient-ai-co-founder-ceo-michael-true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[15]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Marketing Technology News:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/martechseries.com\/mts-insights\/staff-writers\/the-death-of-third-party-cookies-was-just-the-start-are-you-ready-for-consent-orchestration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Death of Third-Party Cookies Was Just the Start.
