Is B2B marketing in the supply chain stuck in a rut? This episode tackles the uncomfortable truth: most supply chain marketing is safe, stale—and completely forgettable.

Key takeaways include: Why "safe" doesn’t scale—and certainly doesn’t sell How to stand out by tapping into human emotion, not product specs The importance of storytelling, visual metaphors, and personality in B2B How Gen Z is reshaping expectations for tone, format, and authenticity The power of breaking one default—whether it’s your visuals, voice, or channel Listeners will hear real-world examples of how even "boring" topics like returns can become bold, delightful, and impactful with the right creative approach. Because at the end of the day, if your message doesn’t make someone feel something, it’s probably forgettable. And in this industry, forgettable is the real F word.
