Anheuser-Busch took home top honors at the virtual Innovation SABRE Awards on February 24 for its work with responding to Covid-19. 

The multifaceted campaign was praised as an excellent example of how corporations could use their influence to make a difference during an unprecedented crisis. From championing blood drives, to producing and distributing hand sanitizer and helping revitalize the restaurant industry, judges were wowed by the impact Anheuser-Busch was able to make. 

One judge said: “Anheuser-Busch could have written a check, they could have done one thing. Instead, they thought through all aspects of how they could contribute and flawlessly executed against each.”
