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 has been recognized with a Gold Stevie® Award in the Most Innovative Tech Company of the Year category at the 23rd Annual International Business Awards® (IBAs).
As a Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) provider under Brave Connective Holdings, Inc., m360 earned global recognition for its innovative wallet-based, omnichannel Customer Engagement Platform. The award highlights the Filipino-built company’s growing presence among the world’s most innovative technology firms, just five years after its establishment in 2021.
The International Business Awards are recognized as one of the world’s leading business awards programs. The competition is open to individuals and organizations worldwide, including public and private entities, for-profit and nonprofit organizations, and businesses of all sizes. For its 2026 edition, the IBAs attracted entries from organizations across 82 countries and territories.
Winners will be celebrated during a gala event at the Pullman Paris Montparnasse on Wednesday, 28 October.
“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,” said m360 President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Ramon Hirang.
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.
Flows enables businesses to design and execute multi-step, multi-channel outbound messaging sequences entirely within m360, with zero third-party integration required – a capability previously accessible only through enterprise marketing automation suites that cost multiples of what m360 offers, and that require months of implementation.
Click Tracking delivers recipient-level engagement intelligence natively within the m360 broadcast dashboard – giving 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. What was once a one-way broadcast channel is now a measurable performance tool.
“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,” said Mr. Hirang.
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
More than 3,400 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories, 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, among others.
Stevie Award nominations were evaluated by more than 200 business professionals worldwide serving as judges on 9 specialized committees. Stevie Award winners were determined based on judges’ average scores during 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,” said Stevie Awards President Maggie Miller.
“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.”
