Chris Hunsaker, senior brand director at Coca-Cola, who accepted the honor on behalf of the brand, said he walked away “not only with inspiration to bring back to my work, but also with appreciation for emphasis on wellness, human connection, and vulnerability.”

He added that the recognition will inform Coca-Cola’s marketing strategy by reminding the company of its responsibility to lead and prioritize optimism.
