Budweiser: Bud Resale
Budweiser bypassed music copyright restrictions by turning thousands of vintage merchandise resellers into a decentralized media network, providing them with advertising credits to promote their listings and reclaim the brand's iconic musical legacy through the secondary market.

Natura used AI-powered drones to map the Amazon's biodiversity at unprecedented speed, turning the invisible value of standing trees into a tangible inventory that empowers local communities to choose sustainable harvesting over deforestation for immediate profit.
