When you’re making a cake, you need more than one ingredient and this is the same when it comes to thinking about your b2b tech PR and communications strategy. Relying on one tactic to build brand awareness can limit your ability to reach your target audience. For example, if you were to only rely on media outreach in tech publications you miss the business community at large—investors, influencers and the general public, which can hurt not only brand awareness, but your level of sales prospecting and employee recruitment.
Adding b2b analyst relations as part of your PR programme can expand your level of exposure with more audiences. Analysts are key influencers. Experts in various industries with the ability to discuss technology in a non-biased way with a built-in objectivity is often sorely lacking in other influencer communities. This makes b2b analyst relations critically important to gaining credibility in your market.
Our TechComms team works side-by-side with many of the top industry analyst firms,providing our clients with valuable introductions and forums to vet new products and launch brand initiatives.
