May 2021: B2B Analyst Relations: The Secret Sauce to Your Communications Program
For some B2B organizations, the risk of becoming an echo chamber when it comes to company strategy is real. Creating a solid communications plan means enlisting third-party feedback. This is where analyst relations comes in! Analysts can help B2B companies solidify marketing messages that resonate with buyers, by offering expert industry advice that deviates from the norm.
Creating a strong analyst relations strategy, even if it is minimal, ensures your annual company plan and pivotal campaigns skillfully meet market needs. During this session, you’ll get the inside track of what industry analysts are looking for from B2B organizations as well as how to build long-term relationships.
You’ll also learn:
- Why you should invest in analyst relations
- How to schedule and prepare for briefings
- How to create a great executive analyst briefing presentation
