Battle of the brands

Behind the Wrapper is original programming produced by Better For You Media that showcases the tenacity, creativity, and dedication needed to introduce a consumer packaged good to the global food and wellness industry.  

Each episode is framed with industry experts, celebrities, and top-entrepreneurs investigating different brands.  Personalities bring light to the story behind the story – featuring how the products are produced, how they size-up amongst the competition, and doing deep dives into the multiple other off-shoot outcomes stemming from the initial inception of the ideas.

Behind the Wrapper is educational and eye-opening and is sure to evolve the way you think about the total retail shopping experience.  Come with us as we pull-back the curtain and see how these brands can come to life and make it from an idea to global homes and kitchens.
