Are Industry Analysts Important? A case for Industry Analysts One of the best and fastest ways for a firm to get its story out in North America is to go talk to the analysts that track the industry. Forming relationship with key analysts is also important for several additional reasons. Analysts have a unique view of the market that they get from advising vendors and enterprises on technology plans. Because of this, they are a superb sounding board for marketing messages and are usually happy to be of help. Since they are in business of advising vendors and
enterprise customers on technology they are well briefed on the
emerging trends in the marketplace. They gain much of their expertise
from Vendor Briefings and are therefore interested in them. A good
analyst meeting is an exchange of information where both parties
win. Taking time to brief the analysts in a particular industry is time consuming. Because of this it is often neglected or done in bursts. This is because executives charged with this task are busy building the business and selling the company and its products. An executive consultant working with a good PR firm can often gain sufficient insight to a company and its technology to be able to do much of the work on their behalf. In this way, executives can focus on orchestrating the information rather than on its delivery.
