Gartner, Forrester, IDC. A lot of boutique research firms too. In every tech-industry news

story, conference or even sales pitch, industry analysts are being quoted. Analysts speak

to thousands of your potential customers, partners and investors every day.

Properly interacting with the right analyst at the right time can bring you critical insight

into your customers’ buying behaviour, generate new leads, provide impartial feedback

on your strategy and much more. When done properly, you can truly differentiate yourself

commercially from your competition. From startup to giant.

That is the core of Analyst Relations.

Over 70% of the Fortune 1000 leverage analyst insight when buying technology solutions,

validating their strategy and acquiring promising technology vendors. Analyst Relations

is about having a strategic dialogue with those analysts who influence your market. Next

to providing deep industry knowledge, they can impact your sales, marketing, product

development, leadership and so on. Those are the reasons why you should invest in culti-

vating meaningful relationships with these influencers. This goes beyond just pushing out

your marketing message.

Developing strong Analyst Relations capabilities can result in powerful outcomes:

Increased brand awareness, credibility and mindshare

Demand generation / recommendations Better market intelligence Higher interest from potential partners & investors Distinction from your competition Revenue generation and higher margins Accelerated growth

For every successful technology vendor Analyst Relations is the amplifier of their success.
