Shane Murphy thinks so, too. 

Shane joined Intercom about 8 months ago as their SVP of Marketing.

It’s been a challenge.

That’s part of what Shane’s been working on at Intercom. To continue fueling growth, move upmarket, and differentiate from a crowded marketplace––Intercom knows that clarity of messaging will be critical. 

And while Intercom might always mean something slightly different depending on the user, they know they have to be in control of those definitions.
