The votes are in, and the results are clear—Starsight Communications has once again been voted by analysts as the IIAR> Analyst Relations Agency of the Year 2024, EMEA at the 2024 IIAR> Awards! We are proud to have maintained our #1 AR Agency spot in EMEA for the fourth time, from the official award in 2023 to placing on the global podium in 2021 and 2022.
Revealed on November 26 following the IIAR> AR Forum—a day filled with insights and collaboration among analyst relations (AR) professionals—these independent awards celebrate excellence in the AR industry. AR pros vote for the top industry analysts and influencers, while those analysts vote for the leading AR pros and agencies. For the fourth consecutive year, industry analysts have chosen Starsight AR as a leader in our field, recognising our commitment to delivering exceptional results for our clients. We are immensely proud of this achievement and grateful for every analyst that voted for us, as well as our clients, supporters and the AR community who inspire us to excel every day.
For Starsight, this award encapsulates a year of growth, impactful relationships and industry leadership in analyst relations. In 2024, we deepened our bonds with industry analysts by actively participating in key events hosted by Gartner, Forrester, IDC and PAC. We took pride in hosting in-person events for our clients, including a major analyst summit and bespoke analyst days. Our agency expanded its reach by welcoming new clients and adding a talented new Starsighter, Bianka, to the team. From guiding clients through their first Gartner Magic Quadrants and all the alternatives, to supporting others in retaining leadership positions, we’ve been dedicated to elevating analyst relations for our clients. Along the way, we refined our processes, strengthened our team dynamic and shared plenty of memorable moments together – a tough gig for a remote agency but one we dedicate time to every morning.
The FIGs were all represented in the Analyst Firm of the Year list, with IDC taking the #1 spot once again in 2024. Gartner, Omdia, GigaOm and Forrester followed behind. The award for Analyst Client Partner of the Year 2024 went to Lena Davies / Verdantix and the Analyst of the Year awards were split by region, so congratulations to Heather Hershey / IDC in the Americas, Enza Iannopollo / Forrester in EMEA and Cathy Huang / IDC in APAC. New Analyst of the Year was awarded to Eric Domage / PAC who covers cyberdefense.
Awards were also given to in-house AR pros, with the Microsoft team holding onto the top spot for AR Team of the Year – congrats! Meanwhile Rachel Kaltenback / Veeam won AR Professional of the Year with Sarita Kincaid / SugarCRM and Henry Chalian / T-Mobile as runners-up.
