There is a particular energy to an award decided through public participation. SANAME won the 2026 Asia-Pacific People's Choice Stevie Award for Favourite Companies in Healthcare Industries, adding a public-vote achievement to its judged innovation recognitions.
This is an important part of the brand's story. The official Stevie announcement names SANAME as the category winner. It is a result that can be linked and read outside SANAME's own marketing, giving new customers and international buyers an independent place to begin.
The recognition
- Programme: The Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards 2026
- Category: People’s Choice Stevie® Award for Favourite Companies (Healthcare Industries)
- Result: GOLD
A different kind of recognition
A People's Choice result and a judged award do not tell exactly the same story. One involves public voting; the other reflects the judging process of its category. SANAME's 2026 Asia-Pacific results include both.
That combination is especially useful for a founder-led brand. It means the story is not confined to one kind of audience. Innovation recognition introduces the business in an awards setting, while People's Choice adds the participation of people willing to support the company publicly.
The programme's announcement reported more than 35,000 votes across its People's Choice categories. That is the total for the competition's public voting, not a SANAME-only vote count. The specific result that matters here is SANAME's Healthcare Industries title.
A functional-food brand with a human identity
SANAME has always presented its range through more than technical language. Broths, brews and the promise of A Hug in a Mug create a recognisable food experience. The brand gives customers a way to connect before they explore the more detailed formulation story.
That approach is particularly relevant to public-facing recognition. A company is remembered through its products, the way it speaks and the experience people associate with it. A clear identity makes a specialist category less remote.
SANAME's product range also gives people different reasons to be interested. Some come for unflavoured collagen, some for a familiar brew and some for a savoury broth. The shared brand needs to welcome those different starting points.
From an Australian business to international visibility
The Asia-Pacific Stevie programme gives this public-vote result an international business setting. For SANAME, it adds another connection between an Australian-founded food brand and audiences beyond its home market.
That is valuable to distributors and hospitality partners as well as direct customers. A named public-vote achievement is an accessible introduction: people do not need specialist knowledge to understand why a company values being chosen in a Favourite Companies category.
The next conversation can then become specific. Which products suit the audience? Which flavours should be sampled? Which format offers the clearest first experience?
Recognition should lead to a real experience
SANAME's 88+ global recognitions in less than two years represent a concentrated period of achievement. The public-vote result is one part of that record, but its value grows when it introduces someone new to the food.
A visitor should not leave with only a memory of the badge. They should know how to explore the range, where to read the product details and how to choose a starting point. That is the connection between public recognition and a growing customer community.
Meet the products behind the name: the SANAME® range. Begin with SUPERBONE® chicken bone broth for a savoury introduction or P360® Pure Unflavoured Multi-Collagen for an unflavoured option.
