Building relationships with industry analysts is a very important aspect of an effect marketing and public relations strategy, especially for business-to-business and technology companies. Prospects, reporters, investors and other major industry players pay attention to leading analysts like Forrester and Gartner.
Their coverage, analysis and commentary shape industry trends, buyer purchasing decisions, media coverage and company reputations.
