Earl Tupper & Brownie Wise | Tupperware | 1946
Earl Tupper patented his airtight “burp” seal in 1946, solving everyday food storage problems with a design that created an entirely new product category. But it was Brownie Wise, beginning in 1951, who unlocked the market by pioneering the party-plan demonstration.
In living rooms across America, hosts showcased how the seal worked; turned customers into consultants; and transformed buying into a social event. Wise’s leadership also broke barriers—she became the first woman to appear on the cover of Business Week in 1954, a milestone in business history.
From the 1950s onward, Tupperware scaled into a global powerhouse, reaching more than 100 countries and becoming one of the most recognized household brands in the world. Millions of families owned its brightly colored bowls and containers, while its parties became cultural shorthand for social commerce.
Breaking new ground: Wise institutionalized recognition, training and culture—travel, rallies, trophies—so the salesforce felt seen and celebrated. This formula became a template for countless companies. Product innovation created a category. Go-to-market innovation created a movement.
