Chief Packaging Officer.com is a fresh, new information portal for the global packaging community. It’s based on the premise that today, packaging is a c-level conversation. It’s inspired by and dedicated to the talented packaging professionals we’ve come to know. They are creatives, innovators, impeccable managers of highly complex processes, brand advocates, industry experts and – as we call them with great respect, packaging heroes. NOTE: This publication was built on a "Magazine" WordPress theme and Hubspot to blend. In 2016, the Kodak division that owned this publication was sold. CPO was part of the negotiations and materially impacted the transaction, leading me to the insight there is enterprise value derived from branded content. As of July 2018, Blue Software, the acquiring company, continues to operate the publication and there are now ~1600 articles posted on the site. Show less
