The &#8220;King of Beers&#8221; is synonymous with fun and entertainment for its consumers worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Budweiser is honored to have had it&#8217;s &#8216;Quality&#8217; radio campaign recognized at the first-ever Guam Marketing Association Awards,&#8221; said Lee Babb, Pacific Region sales manager, Anheuser-Busch International, Inc. &#8220;The award is reflective of the company&#8217;s global marketing and advertising efforts, and was possible as a result of great teamwork between David &#038; Usita DDB and Budweiser.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The campaign, which reinforces Budweiser&#8217;s commitment to distributing the world&#8217;s best-tasting, premium-quality beer, beat out six other nominees.<\/p>\n<p>Amongst the winners of the 19 various advertising and marketing award categories, the Retail class was one of the most coveted awards handed out by the Guam Marketing Association. The &#8220;Quality&#8221; radio campaign involved four separate spots. &#8220;Gus-Guam Warehouse,&#8221; a 60-second spot written by David &#038; Usita and produced by DDB Chicago, was the focal point of the &#8220;Quality&#8221; program.<\/p>\n<p>Three additional 30-second spots written and produced by David &#038; Usita locally supplemented the &#8220;Gus-Guam Warehouse&#8221; commercial. &#8220;Born on Radio &#8211; Star Trek,&#8221;  &#8220;Fresh Beer Radio &#8211; Speed&#8221; and &#8220;Warehouse Radio &#8211; Horror&#8221; are humorous spots with a message on the quality of Budweiser. All four ads hit the airwaves in early 1998 and are still running in Guam.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Working with DDB and Budweiser has been the opportunity of a lifetime,&#8221; said Eduardo David, president, David &#038; Usita DDB. &#8220;it is such a privilege to have a cutting edge client, such as Budweiser, who allows us to maximize our creative abilities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Quality&#8221; radio campaign was also considered by DDB&#8217;s worldwide partners as one of the best DDB creatives in 1998. The &#8220;Gus-Guam Warehouse&#8221; spot was a winner of a Pinnacle Award for Creative Excellence, an international DDB corporate citation.<\/p>\n<p>The Guam Marketing Association, founded in 1998, is a distinguished group of marketing and communication professionals seeking to develop the disciplines in Guam. The Guam Marketing Awards will be an annual event to reward excellence in marketing and advertising.<\/p>\n<p>In 1949, Budweiser was introduced in Guam.
