A fond farewell to CCGroup
Today Iâm wishing a very fond farewell to my colleagues at CCGroup. The business I joined in 2018 has held onto its strengths in B2B tech and, with its smart and beautiful rebrand this month, formalised its steady evolution into an integrated marketing agency. Few PR agencies have taken that rather obvious step since I qualified as a Chartered Marketer (almost 20 years ago), which reflects theâŠ

Analyst experience impacts analyst advocacy
Technology solutions providersâ differing analyst relations choices during the pandemic have created growing gaps in analystsâ advocacy for leading B2B tech solution providers.

Webinar: Carter & Duncan on TechTarget merger with Informa Tech
A glance at Informaâs most recent annual report reveals why itâs mistaken to frame its acquisition of TechTarget as an âoffloadingâ of Informa Tech, as the IIAR did in its quick take on the news. I think Carter Lusherâs approach is more nuanced: see his post on LinkedIn: https://lnkd.in/gX5X_nyi Tech Target has not bought Informa Tech. Informa has paid $350m for control of Tech Target, and theâŠ

Jane Mohr, Julian Tirsu and I are hosting a webinar on October 26th to report back from the Analyst Relations Summit, which Spotlight AR presented in Kansas City recently.

Leveraging synergies with analyst relations
B2B marketers had a challenging FY23, and FY24 looks challenging. Marketing communications budgets have been under pressure, and analyst relations budgets are increasingly diverted into spending with analyst firms.

Of the ones that do, there are many whose outreach is half-hearted, shoddy and slapdash. A lot ofâŠ

Although many marketers feel that B2B professionals choose between technologies based on tangible functionality, CCgroupâs research has found that non-functional attributes heavily influence buyers and purchase influencers. Even oh-so-rational industry analysts use information that is at least a quarter non-functional and sometimes as much as half. Companies significantly benefit byâŠ

How analysts & Analyst Relations can drive growth in times of turmoil?
Technology markets are in turmoil, and industry analysts are a vital part of the fabric needed to prevent vendors from tearing the industry apart.
