Home Credit is the Key: Back-to-School Campaign bags Silver at 59th Anvil Awards

Tweet

In a celebration of excellence at the 59th Anvil Awards, Home Credit Philippines' innovative "Home Credit is the Key: Back-to-School (BTS) Campaign" secured the prestigious Silver

Anvil in the Marketing and Brand Communication sub-category under the Public Relations Programs category.

The awards ceremony, dubbed the 'Oscars of Public Relations' in the Philippines, took place at the Marriott Grand Ballroom in Newport City on January 31, drawing representatives from companies and agencies across the country.

Home Credit, a leading consumer finance company, addressed the challenges faced by parents, particularly moms, during the back-to-school season. The campaign aimed to empower mothers as the primary financial decision-makers and budget planners in their families, navigating the rising costs of education and school supplies.

Running from July 1 to September 30, 2023, the "Home Credit is the Key" campaign provided a backup for moms by offering affordable financing options. Home Credit introduced zero-interest payment plans, easing the financial burden on mothers striving to provide their children with the best education. Flexible payment plans were also made available, ensuring that the cost of education could be spread over manageable installments, thus alleviating financial strain.

"We understand the challenges that parents face during the back-to-school season. Our Back-to-School Campaign aimed to provide not just financial assistance but also peace of mind to mothers who work tirelessly to ensure their children receive a quality education. Winning the Silver Anvil is a testament to the campaign's impact and the recognition of our Public Relations efforts to support families in this crucial aspect of their lives," said Ken Lerona, Head of PR, Home Credit Philippines.

The campaign also emphasized maintaining peace of mind for mothers by using Home Credit's services, allowing them to preserve their savings as a safety net for emergencies or future investments.

The campaign strategically employed public relations and communication tactics to engage and empower its target audience, specifically mothers and their children. Home Credit Philippines collaborated with its agency-on-record, Dugenia, Marayan and Associates Company (DM&A Co.), to implement this compelling initiative.

A key aspect of the campaign's success was the dissemination of impactful narratives to various media titles, partners, and bloggers. By pitching these powerful stories, the campaign effectively resonated with the intended audience, making their back-to-school shopping experience easier and lighter.

“Working with Home Credit Philippines on this campaign was a rewarding experience. We aimed to not only meet the challenges faced by parents but to exceed expectations in providing practical solutions. The Silver Anvil is a validation of the effectiveness and innovation embedded in our approach,” said Michael Dugenia, Managing Partner of DM&A Co.

The Anvil Awards, presented by the Public Relations Society of the Philippines (PRSP), received nearly 500 entries from over 100 companies and agencies, including local government units. The 59th Anvil Awards showcased new categories under PR Programs, such as Best Use of Digital, Best Use of Social Media, and Best PR-led Integrated Campaign.

Home Credit Philippines' Back-to-School Campaign stood out among the top entries, securing the Silver Anvil, and reinforcing its commitment to excellence in community support.

A Home that Cares: Home Credit Extends HMO Coverage to Domestic Partners to Strengthen Inclusivity Efforts

Tweet

As Home Credit Philippines (HCPH) continues to foster inclusivity and support diverse families in the workplace, the leading consumer finance company now includes domestic partners as dependent in its medical benefits program for eligible employees.

Home Credit Philippines Chief People Officer Alpha Omega Aquino noted that this new policy is aligned with the company’s commitment to prioritizing the well-being of its employees.

“With this initiative, we hope to create an environment where every employee feels supported and valued. We want to help promote a caring and nurturing work culture that feels like home to empower our employees further,” said Aquino.

With this new policy, qualified employees can now extend their HMO coverage to their domestic partners if they meet certain criteria. The employee and domestic partner should be both single and never married and not related by blood, whether legitimate or illegitimate. The partner must also be of legal age and not more than 65 years old.

If eligible, the employee can enroll the partner by submitting the following requirements for the medical benefits program: barangay certification of co-habitation, the partner’s Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) certified copy of birth certificate, and PSA certificate of no marriage (CENOMAR).

“By extending our medical benefits program to domestic partners, we aim to enable our employees to build strong and healthy families, regardless of marital status. The coverage will encompass inpatient and even outpatient services, including checkups, laboratory tests, rehab, therapy, emergency care, dental, mental health care, and pre-existing conditions,” Aquino added.

As a strong advocate of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), this initiative complements the Same-Sex Partner HMO Coverage that Home Credit started to offer its employees in 2021 to provide medical benefits to LGBTQIA+ partners. Currently, the company already has several employees enjoying this benefit.

“At Home Credit, we believe that our employees are our greatest asset. We remain committed to fostering a workplace that promotes DEI, allowing us to embrace different perspectives and backgrounds to make every employee feel welcome and appreciated. We will continue enhancing our programs for our employees as we believe our success will not be possible without them,” Aquino remarked.

As a testament to Home Credit’s commitment to upholding DEI practice, the company recently received another Gold Stevie® for the Innovative Achievement for Diversity and Inclusion category during the tenth annual Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards last June.

Home Credit Philippines snags Gold Stevie® for Diversity and Inclusion

Tweet

As the company continues to live up to the standards and promote the DEI principles in the workplace and beyond, leading consumer finance company Home Credit Philippines bagged yet again another Gold Stevie^® in the tenth annual Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards for the Innovative Achievement for Diversity and Inclusion category.

 

The company was recognized during a virtual awarding ceremony held last June 27, where all awardees across the Asia-Pacific region commemorated the achievements and innovations of these companies and how they contributed to their respective industries.

 

“Every day, we celebrate our employees’ diversity in gender, nationality, culture, age, and background. Beyond this, we foster a home where everyone can share their unique perspectives, respect each other's needs, and reach their full potential without barriers,” said Alpha Omega Aquino, Home Credit Philippines’ Chief People Officer.

 

She added, “This Gold Stevie^® award is an attestation of our commitment to championing and further promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace and beyond. And here at Home Credit, we’re proud to say that there are no small roles, everyone is important.”

 

DEI in the workplace and beyond

Backed by its commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG), Home Credit continues to foster diversity and inclusion by creating programs that aim to have meaningful engagement among all its employees.

 

In April 2022, the company forged partnerships with the Philippine Business Coalition for Women Empowerment (PBCWE) and the Philippine LGBT Chamber of Commerce (PLCC) to further cement its commitment to achieving gender equality and inclusion in the workplace. The said organizations have guided Home Credit in creating policies, guidelines, and projects that helped the company efficiently promote diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

 

Pride starts at Home

During this Pride Month, Home Credit held a series of activities to strengthen further its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. These activities were conducted in partnership with its recently formed Pride Club composed of LGBTQ employees and allies.

From “So Lit” to “Sulit!” Get iPhone 11 now via Home Credit’s 0% interest offer until September 30!

Tweet

As smart buyers, it always pays to purchase anything ‘sulit,’ especially when it comes to the things we’ll use every day, like smartphones. These gadgets are critical to our everyday lives in the ‘always-on’ world, where people must stay connected with friends, family, and even colleagues, whenever and wherever they are.

But, nowadays, having a smartphone is more than just about staying connected. It’s more than just having the power to connect, and most certainly, there are more things that we need to consider in order for these trusty devices to be called a ‘sulit’ buy.

For iPhone users, one particular model is worthy of being called a ‘sulit’ phone—the iPhone 11. From its camera specs, and reliable performance, to high-res display and sleek design, this model has become a staple and proves to be a ‘sulit’ buy as it enables users to experience all that they need and deserve from an iPhone. 

Here’s why:

High-res camera for high-quality photos, videos

When looking for a mobile phone, the camera is one of the vital features you need to check. This is to make sure you can capture your every moment and experience in high-quality, especially now in the age of social media.

From snapping a selfie, taking photos of scenic views, to even recording dance crazes, never let your camera hold you down when documenting your memories and parts of your life. Luckily, the iPhone 11 features a dual-camera system built with 12MP Ultra-Wide and Wide cameras to allow you to capture social-media-worthy photos and videos every day.

Reliable performance for everyday use

Running low on power is one of your main problems when you are outside. It is a hassle to search for an energy source just to recharge your phone if you forget your power bank. Having a battery that can store enough power to fuel your device so it can last the whole day is a lifesaver.

The good thing is that the iPhone 11 boasts a 3110mAh battery capacity that can provide the power you need all day. With a capacity that can deliver up to 65 hours of music experience or up to 17 hours of watching videos, there is no need for you to worry about your battery life all the time.

Aside from the battery, ensuring its performance features can give you a smooth user experience when going through your day-to-day tasks or enjoying downtime on your mobile phone. Lags can interrupt your gameplay or interfere with your productivity as you work around your emails, online meetings, messages, and so on. Thanks to the iPhone 11’s A13 Bionic processor and iOS 13 operating system, you can enjoy smooth performance when using the device, allowing you to play or multitask without the fear of slow response time.

High-definition display for a better viewing experience

A mobile phone’s display affects your overall user experience. As much as possible, you want a screen that can meet your visual preferences so you can appreciate your time on the phone. If you are searching for a higher-resolution display that shows accurate colors for immersive visuals, the iPhone 11 has a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina screen with a 1792x828 resolution, making every photo or frame you encounter come alive.

Water-resistant design for long-lasting use

Buying a mobile phone is an investment. That is why you must ensure that you are only getting a quality device that can last long and is well protected if exposed to harmful factors that may damage its hardware. Worry no more because the iPhone 11 got you covered. As it is rated IP68, the device is water-resistant and can withstand common liquid spills and even two-meter-deep water for 30 minutes. With its enduring quality, you can guarantee you can use the device for a long time.

Snatch that ‘sulit’ deal

Before finalizing your decision to buy the phone after checking its features, do not forget to consider its price and payment options. This will allow you to evaluate if the device is within or out of your budget while also giving you a chance to choose how to pay for it so you will not spend all your savings in one go.

If you are curious about the iPhone 11’s price, it retails at PHP29,990 and PHP25,990 for its 128GB and 64GB variants, respectively. It is available in six colors: Black, Green, Yellow, Purple, Red, and White.

But how can this be a sulit deal? Home Credit hears you! Avail now the iPhone 11 via Home Credit and enjoy its 0% interest offer with 6-, 9-, and 12-month installment options. Depending on your chosen duration, you can only be PHP52 away from using the so lit iPhone 11 for a ‘sulit’ investment.

What are you waiting for? Get the iPhone 11 now before it is too late! Home Credit’s offer is ongoing and will last until September 30, 2023.
