Industry analysts are market experts who play a highly influential role in B2B technology purchasing decisions. B2B analyst relations (AR) is a reliable way for B2B tech companies to establish a reputation, build brand and refine their market position. In the B2B tech space, there are several key industry analyst firms, including Gartner and Forrester Research. These expert analyst consultancies have focus areas they specialise in studying and understanding. Their team of analysts are assigned various markets to learn and companies to follow. They author independent and commissioned studies and conduct in-depth research to understand tech products and their impact on customers and marketplaces.
B2B analyst relations is an important element of any successful B2B tech PR strategy. It complements earned media outreach by providing third-party objective validation of the work a company is doing and their leadership in a market.
