With B2B Ignite USA 2023 just around the corner on May 23 through 24 in Chicago, we wanted to get some of the latest B2B marketing insight from Melanie Deziel, chief content officer at StoryFuel, who will be delivering a new presentation on “Using Content as Evidence of Your Most Important Claims” during the event.
