"From the start, Crayon’s flexibility and support have been critical for establishing a strong CI foundation customized to our needs."

"To create an open competitive intelligence model, we decided to meet our internal stakeholders where they spend their time and have competitive conversations. We have Crayon’s battlecards automatically displayed in Highspot and we use the Slack integration to push and capture intelligence out to the field."

"Crayon is able to pick up key pieces of competitive intelligence that I regularly may have missed. Despite dedicating my time to competitive research, Crayon surfaced information that would regularly slip through the cracks during traditional analysis. Between Crayon’s mission and the actual product’s technical capabilities, I realized I had …

“Most battlecard updates are a no-brainer. Of course you make updates when competitors release big announcements and/or your launch a new capability that changes your competitive positioning. Prioritizing when your incorporate other insights can be more challenging considering competitive intel volume. I update Tier One battlecards quarterly and use field …

“While it’s still early days for incorporating AI into our CI workflows, tracking our competitor’s AI moves — such as new messaging and product releases — became a top priority this past year. As AI continues to dominate the dialogue, CI leaders will be expected to stay ahead of the …

“The tools we were using didn't have the breadth of intel we needed to understand what our competitors were doing, and the intel wasn't getting surfaced fast enough. We were missing opportunities to get ahead of our competitors and consuming precious resources chasing down intel."

"Crayon helps us scan our highly competitive, ever-changing category and stay on top of news and insights that matter."

"All of a sudden, people were tagging each other and making suggestions as to how Crayon can help with various projects. And we reached a critical mass—I was getting phone calls left and right from colleagues who, honestly, I hadn’t even thought to reach out to."

"Everyone stays informed, even when there are constant shifts in our landscape."
