The 23rd Annual International Business Awards® are the world’s premier business awards competition, recognizing outstanding organizations, executives, entrepreneurs, and teams worldwide
Globe Telecom company m360 was named the winner of a Gold Stevie® Award in the Most Innovative Tech Company of the Year category in The 23rd Annual International Business Awards® (IBAs).
A Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) provider under Brave Connective Holdings, Inc., m360’s innovation – a wallet-based, omnichannel Customer Engagement Platform – recognized globally, positioning the Filipino-built CPaaS provider among the most innovative tech companies in the world in just five years since its founding in 2021.
The International Business Awards are the world’s premier business awards program. All individuals and organizations worldwide – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small – are eligible to submit nominations. The 2026 IBAs received entries from organizations in 82 nations and territories.
Winners will celebrate 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.
