The 2018 NCAA March Madness basketball tournament lived up to its name. With a total of 67 games played in a matter of weeks, ever-changing story lines and dramatic upsets — it was nothing short of madness!

Think back to a time when you carefully mapped out a B2B digital marketing plan—a strategic plan you were sure would work. You checked all the boxes and spent days, weeks, MONTHS slaving over your marketing efforts…but when you launched it, the results were nowhere near what you expected. What happened? Where did it all go…
