“The big ‘aha moment’ for us was the feeds. We started realizing that there was great information coming in that they didn’t have to search for. When we began sharing those insights with the executive team, it spurred support from the top-down.”

"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."

"Crayon is able to pick up key pieces of competitive intelligence that I regularly may have missed.

“AI is incredibly promising and can be helpful today for content summarization, but is still a long way from credibly conducting win/loss interviews by itself. Until it has feelings — not just the ability to sense them in others, but to experience them itself — it will lack the dignity …

"This academy is super timely. So many resources talk about what CI pros should be doing — but too few focus on how to do it. There’s a big difference, especially in a developing niche that needs some level of activation expertise to uncover value. Crayon has done a good …

“As we formalized our program centrally, we picked up a lot of the existing programs -- battlecards, sales collateral, sales plays -- and started plugging into them, and putting measure to them in ways we hadn’t been able to before.”
