“I’ve found that Crayon is the best fit for us as we build our CI program and scale up. Without Crayon, we would be manually spending time making updates to competitive assets as opposed to doing strategic competitive intelligence work. Inefficiency is a revenue killer.”
"Before Crayon, we were finding that our competitor information was constantly out of date, and we needed a way to stay up to date with industry changes, in real time. We also needed a process for successfully sharing intel across the whole organization."
"Crayon found our competitors’ internal training videos, which uncovered incredible intel on how and why they were investing in different areas. This initiated a productive conversation about how and why we wanted to allocate our investments."
"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 job with this."
"It's addicting. I have six tabs permanently open in my browser, and Crayon is one of them."
“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 new AI developments but also understand and be able to advise on their implications and potential pitfalls.”
"I’d estimate over the last year we’ve used Crayon, there have been at least five big pieces of news – major scoops – that we would have just missed without it."
"We really wanted a tool to collect and aggregate timely insights and make them easily accessible and usable, that's what Crayon was able to provide for us."
"Battlecards help us keep information consistent and up-to-date and helps us eliminate the need to chase down old decks. There's a real feedback loop. Our Sales team is leaving comments based on their own field knowledge — it's creating positive conversations."
“The future of CI is augmented: human experts and generative agents collaborating as strategic advisors. Imagine a future where AI analyzes vast amounts of data at lightning speed, while human expertise interprets it — within the unique context of your organization. This isn’t just a tool anymore, it’s a generative teammate joining your CI team. Get ready for this new reality."
"We save 32 hours per month by using the Crayon platform. That translates to massive savings based on the efficiency gains alone."
“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 saves me 20% of my time - a full day every single week - by surfacing competitive insights so that I don’t have to go digging for them. I can stay on top of my competitors and focus on helping the business grow.”
"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."
“We have a fast growing sales team of hundreds of reps. With that much growth, competitive intelligence needs to be as easy as possible for reps to consume — we’re talking a few minutes tops. Crayon has been the ideal solution to meet that need.”
