Forrester's Purchase of Strategic Oxygen

Although this didnt make the splash that Gartner's of AMR acquisition did- it signals a move towards more go-to-market tools for clients. I believe that this is a move that makes sense to a lot of marketing people who need real tools to quantify their decisions.  Unfortunately it will not be a part of Forrester's membership so it comes at extra cost..

Gartner Buys AMR--what does that mean for Vendors and AR people?

My first thoughts are: who’s next? and that now those agressive AMR salespeople will prevent us from briefing Gartner analysts unless we are members…I have had some bad experience with AMR with some of my AR clients who had legitimate reasons to brief their analysts: yet we were stopped at the door by the salespeople. I hope Gartner can train AMR salespeople about their policy of objectivity and that every vendor should have a chance to tell their story providing they have a good one and are talking to the relevant analyst. and some more thoughts by Jonny http://technobabble2dot0.wordpress.com/2009/12/01/gartner-buys-amr/#comment-4273

Don't Forget about Real Relationships to get Ongoing Business

95% of our new Public Relations, Analyst Relations and outsourced Marcom clients today are direct referrals from people I know and who I have worked with in the past.  We do use Linkedin as our main marketing tool to create and maintain our brand in the marketplace–but in the end of the day–most of my new clients have come to me because someone has given me a personal referral…So keep on learning about and using social networks–but dont forget real relationship building.
