Using Research and Data as a Strategic Marketing Tool
I've just written a new white paper on something we believe more companies in the ProAV industry should be thinking about:
Using independent research as a strategic marketing tool.
Too often, marketing relies on claims, product features, or messaging that sounds like everyone else. But when you lead with real data, credible insight, and objective analysis, the conversation changes. Buyers listen differently. Partners engage earlier. And your brand becomes part of the industry narrative instead of reacting to it.
In this paper, we share how Applied Research can help organizations:
Build credibility through third-party insight
Create original data the market actually cares about
Support demand generation with evidence, not adjectives
Amplify messaging through thought leadership and industry channels
This is the kind of work we’ve done with clients in the Professional AV ecosystem, and we’re excited to formalize it as part of our Applied Research offering at Apogee Insight.

If you’re thinking about how research, data, and market intelligence can play a bigger role in your strategy, feel free to reach out. We’d be glad to compare notes.

Love seeing this research out in the world and proud to have been a part of the work that brought it to life. The data strongly reinforces how critical reliable AV and collaboration technology has become to the higher-ed experience and institutional success.
The finding that 1 in 4 students and 1 in 3 faculty have considered leaving due to poor technology is a powerful reminder that classroom tech is no longer a “nice to have” — it’s directly tied to retention, reputation, and ROI.
At the same time, it’s encouraging to see that 82% of institutions are prioritizing classroom investments and 80% meeting rooms, which shows strong alignment between institutional goals and the realities of hybrid learning.
The trends around interoperability, ease of use, and proactive management also stood out to me. Faculty satisfaction being the top IT success metric and the growing importance of remote management tools really highlight the shift toward scalable, sustainable tech ecosystems — not just one-off upgrades.
Logitech’s recommendation to focus on smarter, long-term investments that streamline what institutions already have feels especially relevant in budget-constrained environments.
This is a great example of how independent research and real data can help align brand, solutions, and messaging with the topics that matter most to ProAV community as well as deliver credibility and relevance to company messaging.
