    Are B2B organizations passing up an opportunity to resonate with their prospects and customers because their messages lack creativity? 

    Today, I’m talking to Jacob Sanders, the creator of “ROI: The Musical,” and cast members Scott Monty and Ryan Wallman, to discuss why so many B2B organizations seem to steer away from getting creative in their marketing.
