They say not to judge a book by its cover, but as consumers we know that’s exactly what we do as we browse grocery shelves and product pages. In many cases, packaging is not just the icing on the cake–it’s crucial to the product itself. Join us for this special edition of the Highlight Reel featuring Nate Rosen as we explore how innovative brands Cabinet Health and Whipnotic are revolutionizing the use of product packaging in the end-to-end consumer experience.
1:50-2:20pm ET
