EON

Filipino-owned and independent, EON calls itself an integrated communications consultancy. Its main markets are the Philippines and the UAE, with offices in Manila and in the UAE, and its work centers on building trust between organizations and the public. The firm describes itself as builders of trust, and it says its mission is to use truth-telling to build trust, drive transformation and uplift communities. It claims more than 25 years of commitment to that vision.

Public relations for stakeholder trust

The core service is public relations and communications, delivered as strategic work for clients who need their stakeholders to trust them. The firm describes stakeholder relations as a central discipline, and says its expertise in building trust places it among the leaders in this area of consultancy.

Integrated campaigns with on-ground activations

Integrated campaigns combine creative and digital work with events and on-ground activations. The firm describes these campaigns as a way to reach audiences in person as well as online. Its site shows work on car launches in Southeast Asia, motorsport and banking, among other sectors.

The Philippine Trust Index and other research

EON runs its own research. The Philippine Trust Index is a nationwide study of how Filipinos trust government, business, media and other social institutions, and the firm says it uses that research to guide its client work. The site also refers to a Philippine trust study that finds Filipinos now want proof before they trust an institution, which the firm presents as a sign that accountability and transparency matter more to audiences than they did before. The firm also draws on analytics from public conversation.

A Filipino perspective from the UAE

The firm has a UAE office with a focus on the Filipino community there. Its site describes research and work aimed at Filipinos living in the UAE, and it treats that audience as one that needs its own understanding and its own kind of communication.

Work across more than twenty industries

Its site says the firm has worked across over 21 sectors, naming airlines, energy and pharmaceutical companies among them, and that its campaigns have included consumer brands and retailers. The firm describes its clients as a broad set of organizations, and its offices in Manila and the UAE allow it to serve them in both markets.

Awards for a national trust index

The firm reports that its Philippine Trust Index won bronze at the PR Awards Asia 2022, and it says it was the only firm in the country recognized across all categories that year by the awarding body. These awards are presented as recognition of the firm's research and communications work, and the site places them among its accolades.
