  "account": "Tupperware, the iconic household brand, is looking to the future in Africa as it seeks to reconnect with modern consumers while preserving its heritage. Through TuppAfrica, the company is rethinking its products, pricing and marketing strategies using market trends, consumer insights and performance data. TuppAfrica's product planning manager, Thendo Khedzi Mamphwe, said the company is modernizing its approach while maintaining its strong legacy. Mamphwe noted that consumers still value durable, trusted and practical products, but they also desire contemporary colors, versatility, convenience and a brand that understands their evolving needs. The strategy is focused on meeting growing demand for convenience, multifunctionality, food preservation, meal preparation, organization, and on-the-go eating solutions. Mamphwe emphasized that affordability and value are also crucial, so the company is creating compelling offers at accessible price points without sacrificing quality. The brand is also bringing back some classic products that customers have loved over the years. TuppAfrica's success is also highlighted by the continued strong performance of its classic 'That's a Bowl' product, which demonstrates the emotional connection consumers have with Tupperware. The company's recent launch of a glassware range has also been a hit, showing that customers are excited about Tupperware's expansion into new product spaces.",
