Globe Telecom company m360 has been named the winner of a Gold Stevie® Award in the Most Innovative Tech Company of the Year category at The 23rd Annual International Business Awards® (IBAs).
The recognition highlights m360’s innovation in developing a wallet-based, omnichannel Customer Engagement Platform. As a Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) provider under Brave Connective Holdings, Inc., m360 has earned global recognition for its technology, positioning the Filipino-built CPaaS provider among the most innovative tech companies in the world just five years after its founding in 2021.
The Gold Stevie Award recognizes m360’s work in developing technology designed to address the needs of Filipino businesses. Its Customer Engagement Platform provides businesses with digital communication capabilities, while its 2025 product launches introduced additional tools for automating, monitoring, and measuring engagement in digital marketing campaigns.
The International Business Awards are the world’s premier business awards program. Individuals and organizations worldwide, including public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small organizations, are eligible to submit nominations. The 2026 IBAs received entries from organizations in 82 nations 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.
The Gold Stevie Award adds to m360’s growing recognition at the International Business Awards. The company 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
m360 further developed its technology offering in 2025 with the launch of two market-first products. The products addressed an infrastructure gap in 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. The product requires zero third-party integration, allowing businesses to create and execute these sequences within the platform.
According to the source, the capability was previously accessible only through enterprise marketing automation suites that cost multiples of what m360 offers and require months of implementation. Flows therefore addresses a need for businesses looking for messaging sequence capabilities within m360.
The second product, Click Tracking, delivers recipient-level engagement intelligence natively within the m360 broadcast dashboard. The feature provides businesses with real-time visibility into several campaign engagement measurements.
These include CTR, unique clicks per campaign, peak click timing by hourly intervals, device type breakdown, and geographic engagement down to the city level.
The addition of Click Tracking changes the role of the broadcast dashboard by making engagement measurable. Businesses can access recipient-level information and campaign data within m360, giving them greater visibility into how digital marketing campaigns perform.
“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.
m360’s client base spans several sectors of the Philippine economy. Its clients include clinics, cooperatives, government agencies, banks, and retailers.
Through its digital communication technology, m360 is bringing digital communication intelligence to businesses across these sectors. Its products are designed around the needs identified in the Philippine market, reinforcing the company’s position as a Filipino-built CPaaS provider.
