Globe unit m360 wins Gold - Most Innovative Tech Company of the Year Stevie® Award in 2026 International Business Awards®

“This Gold win is a recognition of what our team has built - a platform designed to solve real problems for Filipino businesses. It’s proof that innovation doesn’t have to come from Silicon Valley to compete on the world stage. This belongs to every person at m360 who worked to get us here. The CPaaS industry in the Philippines has historically been dominated by aggregators offering transmission - not intelligence. Businesses could send messages, but couldn't measure engagement, automate follow-up, or optimize campaigns without layering on expensive external tools. m360's 2024–2025 innovations directly address these gaps. Each product was built because the market needed it and no local provider had built it yet. ~Ramon Hirang, m360 President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

The 23rd Annual International Business Awards® are the world's premier business awards competition, recognizing outstanding organizations, executives, entrepreneurs, and teams worldwide.


Globe Telecom's m360 won a Gold Stevie® Award for Most Innovative Tech Company of the Year at The 23rd Annual International Business Awards® (IBAs).

Thanks to its innovation, a wallet-based, omnichannel Customer Engagement Platform, m360, a Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) provider under Brave Connective Holdings, Inc., has grown into one of the most creative tech companies in the world in just five years since its founding in 2021.

The International Business Awards are the world's leading business awards program. All individuals and organizations, whether public or private, for-profit or non-profit, large or small, are welcome to submit nominations. Entries for the 2026 IBAs were submitted by organizations from 82 nations and territories.

Winners will be celebrated during a gala event at the Pullman Paris Montparnasse on Wednesday, 28 October.

m360 also brought home a Silver award at the 2025 International Stevie Awards under the Achievement in Product Innovation category.


World class innovation, made in the Philippines

In 2025, m360 launched two market-first products that addressed an infrastructure gap on how Philippine businesses can automate and monitor engagement in digital marketing campaigns.

Businesses can design and execute multi-step, multi-channel outbound messaging sequences entirely within m360 with Flows, eliminating the need for third-party integration. Previously, only enterprise marketing automation suites—which are significantly more costly than m360 and take months to implement—were capable of doing this.

By natively delivering recipient-level engagement intelligence within the m360 broadcast dashboard, Click Tracking gives businesses real-time visibility into CTR, unique clicks per campaign, peak click timing by hourly intervals, device type breakdown, and geographic engagement down to the city level. Rather than being a one-way broadcast channel, it is now a measurable performance tool.

With clients spanning clinics, cooperatives, government agencies, banks, and retailers, m360 is bringing digital communication intelligence to every corner of the Philippine economy.


The 2026 International Business Awards

Businesses of all sizes and in nearly every industry submitted over 3,400 nominations this year for a range of awards, including Company of the Year, Marketing Campaign of the Year, Best New Product or Service of the Year, Startup of the Year, Corporate Social Responsibility Program of the Year, and Executive of the Year.  
 
The Stevie Award nominations were evaluated by more than 200 international business professionals who served as judges on 9 specialized committees. The Stevie Award winners were chosen based on the judges' average scores from the independent judging process in June and July.

“The 2026 International Business Awards winners represent the very best in business achievement from organizations of all sizes and across virtually every industry. This year's winners have demonstrated exceptional innovation, leadership, resilience, and results in a highly competitive global field. We congratulate every Stevie Award winner and look forward to celebrating their achievements together in Paris on October 28.” ~Maggie Miller, Stevie Awards President
