Manischewitz with Lisa Smith

BLAKE HOWARD
About this episode

Manischewitz is a beloved staple in any Jewish pantry. However, both the brand and the Kosher food market were on the decline.

Lisa Smith, former Executive Creative Director at JKR, speaks to how she and her team did more than create snazzy new packaging, and instead offered a seat at the table.
