Fostering relationships with analysts to enhance market position

A team that knows how to maximize analyst programs

The impact of industry analysts is not to be underestimated. They play an essential role in driving awareness and their influence has become a key part of how customers across all sectors make purchasing decisions. Wise Up PR provides a senior-level-only team that has run successful analyst programs for a host of large and fast-growing clients to position you with the right message at the right time to unlock analysts’ attention.

The best industry analyst relations activity should also be complimented with a fully-formed public relations program. Media relations activity, especially relevant corporate news, is the oxygen on which successful analyst outreach relies on. Our team has deep knowledge in orchestrating a suite of PR activities to strengthen an analyst outreach program.

Embedding targeted analyst relations into day-to-day activities

The goal of any analyst relations program is to secure continuous high-quality analyst briefings. Yet, strategy needs to underpin any approach and must be defined at the outset of any program. Otherwise, misaligned outreach can result in analyst apathy for your brand and a missed opportunity to speak about true differentiation from your competitors, technical specifics and your role in your industry. Given that analysts typically remain in their roles for extended periods, your brand could be ignored for a long time as a consequence of uncoordinated outreach.  

From the start, Wise Up PR will craft a bespoke strategy and conduct an analyst audit to match your offering up with analysts’ areas of interest. We’ll align messaging with preparing spokespeople to then conduct highly targeted, personalized analyst outreach.

High-quality outputs from analyst relations activity

Wise Up PR has a proven track record of managing multiyear, multi-geography analyst relations programs. From Forrester to Gartner and beyond, we’ve put our clients in front of the biggest sector opinion-makers and positioned them as industry leaders. 

Beyond improving visibility and boosting credibility, the results of ongoing engagement with such top-tier analysts have also been tangible sales leads for a number of our clients, serving to highlight the immense value this channel brings to a PR program. From outreach to briefing prep, we will make sure you put your best foot forward and have all the tools you need to properly evangelize your offering.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Analyst relations is a specialist area of public relations and this activity focuses on creating and maintaining relationships with industry analysts. An industry analyst is a professional who evaluates specific markets and industries to a peer-level understanding in order to provide insights into market trends, specific companies and their offerings and wider industry developments. Your prospects look to analysts to drive their decision-making for selecting new vendors and kicking off RFP processes. 

The overall aim of this function is to enhance an organization’s industry credibility and reputation. This is achieved by inclusion within industry analysts’ reports and recommendations which are made to their clients and also the public.

Many analysts also remain in their position for long periods of time. This means taking the time to foster a connection with them can improve both market position and credibility.
