ID8 Inc. clinches five Asia-Pacific Stevie® Awards for digital and strategic innovation

Published May 12, 2026 12:06 pm
Integrated marketing and digital content agency ID8 Inc. made its mark at the 2026 Asia-Pacific Stevie® Awards, earning five accolades for its innovative approach to both publishing and corporate advocacy.
A second Gold Stevie® highlighted the agency’s performance, this time for Innovation in Digital or Interactive Publications for BiteSized.ph, a food and culture platform that has redefined how audiences engage with culinary content.
Highlighting Innovation Across Categories
The Stevie® Awards, which recognize excellence in the workplace and business achievement globally, honored ID8 for innovative work spanning five distinct categories:
Innovation in Digital Publications (Gold): Awarded to BiteSized.ph for championing Filipino cuisine and bringing it to the global stage. This win follows last year's award for Most Innovative Facebook Page, proving that food remains one of the most powerful ways to introduce culture to the world.
Innovation in Short-Form Video (Silver): A BiteSized.ph original recipe series, Sulit Mommy Hacks earned the Stevie® for delivering practical, budget-conscious food solutions through high-utility video content, making everyday cooking more accessible for Filipino homemakers.
Innovation in Social Media Series (Silver): 8List.ph's #Bak8NgaBa has earned back-to-back Silver Stevie® Awards by doing what it does best: answering the questions Filipinos didn't know they needed answered. Its winning formula — curiosity-driven storytelling wrapped in punchy, social-first packaging — continues to set the bar for infotainment content in the Philippines.
Innovation in Community Relations (Silver): Recognized for turning nostalgia into a vibrant cultural moment, Max's Restaurant's 80th Anniversary transformed a milestone celebration into a fitting tribute to a Filipino dining icon — exceeding nearly triple its original targets in what proved to be a masterfully crafted experiential campaign.
Innovation in Public Service Communications (Bronze): Awarded to Maynilad's Oro Inodoro Awards for its creative approach to advocating clean and dignified public restrooms. Anchored in the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 6, the campaign assessed public restrooms across the Philippines, proving that even the most overlooked spaces deserve the public’s attention.
Strengthening Industry Footprint
The five-trophy haul at the Stevies® continues a significant winning streak for ID8. In 2025 alone, the agency was named Agency of the Year and secured the coveted Platinum Anvil at the 60th Anvil Awards, alongside major international wins at the PR Asia Awards and the 2025 Asia-Pacific Stevie® Awards. This award run carried over to the 61st Anvil Awards, where ID8 took home five Anvils for its publishing titles and agency work, including a Grand Anvil nomination and Gold Anvil win for Maynilad’s Oro Inodoro Awards.
Together, these wins cement ID8's standing as an agency capable of delivering globally competitive innovation across content, marketing communications and advocacy.
"In every project we take on, we always ask ourselves: who are we doing this for?" said Donna Nievera-Conda, Co-President of ID8 Inc. "These wins tell us that when you lead with purpose and root your work in people, the innovation naturally follows and the message reaches more hearts."
By successfully bridging the gap between innovative media formats and strategic corporate storytelling, ID8 Inc. continues to establish itself as an agency that drives meaningful impact in a crowded media landscape.
