IAG

Inspiring GenAI take up across 15,000 employees

IAG is the southern hemisphere’s largest insurance group, owning several of Australia and New Zealand’s marquee brands. Its visionary leadership wanted early uptake of GenAI among their 15,000 employees. We created an internal Inclusive Innovation ‘brand’, comms and campaigns that educate, reassure and inspire.

General use of Copilot rose from 23% to 61% in 6 months. Extensive use (more than 15 days/month) rose eightfold.
IAG has built an online community of over 1000 people in the space of a year. 250 people have volunteered to be GenAI ‘Activators’.
20 agents are already in service, with 100 in the pipeline, built in-house by teams across the business engaging the ‘GENI’ agent-builder we helped promote.

IAG meets its future

Core idea, naming, strategy

The core idea originated with the commitment of IAG to involve all of its employees in its GenAI movement, and the powerful democratic nature of the technology. “Inclusive Innovation” struck a profound chord for both IAG’s leadership and employees: reassurance, permission and inspiration… ‘this a challenge we face together’. Visually, the identity communicates the coming together of organisation and technology, with the magic happening where IAG and GenAI overlap.

  • Campaign mark. Two overlapping is symbolise the coming together of people and technology.  

  • Storytelling. Three focused areas, designed to make GenAI less daunting.

  • Product architecture. A graphic system designed for quick deployment, enhancing navigation and usability of newly developed bot agents.

Orientation, education and inspiration

GenAI in the world of insurance

To help people understand how GenAI would function in an insurance setting we split its use at IAG into three simple-to-understand categories, each bigger in scale: 1) ready-to-use personal, 2) quick-build team agents and 3) large-scale organisational infrastructure. We named these Deploy, Shape and Compose. We broke the capabilities of GenAI into six categories, using movement and animation to educate. To foster a shared-learnings culture, we tell many stories of use cases.

  • Overlapping identity. A fresh take on the IAG Group brand – balancing consistency and differentiation.

Digital revolution, physical presence

Collateral and Activator support

IAG has built up a team of around 250 trained GenAI ‘Activators’. One of the perks is the right to wear what has become quite sought-after Inclusive Innovation merchandise.

  • Top view of woman in purple tank top and cream hat with abstract blue and purple lightning bolt embroidered graphic, shot against dark grey backdrop
  • Cream tote bag with blue and purple abstract heart graphic and dark purple handles, filled and on dark purple stool against dark grey backdrop
  • Three stacked cream mugs with abstract purple and blue graphics against a dark grey gradient background

Prompt big or go home

GenAI winter campaign

An Australia winter campaign to encourage personal take-up was built around the art of the prompt, brought to life by reimagining a cursor arrow in a number of ways. To show how the familiar was being challenged by GenAI, we reinvented a number of familiar phrases and sayings, changing their meaning by swapping out key words for ‘prompt’. The campaign encompassed activation events, competitions, animated adverts, social media and webinar content.

  • Close-up of wall edge in modern office showing vinyl of arm holding abstract purple and blue arrow with campaign text “To prompt, or not to prompt?”
  • Strike while the prompt is hot. A suite of short animated GIFs were deployed across digital touchpoints to increase the campaign’s visibility.

  • Cream tent card with abstract purple and blue graphic of cake and cake slice, dark purple campaign text, and IAG logo on dark grey gradient background

    Hit the ground prompting. Activation events brought employees together over coffee and cake to play interactive prompt games.

  • Three vanilla cupcakes on dark grey surface, one topped with IAG logo disk, two with purple and blue disks displaying campaign messages
  • Dark grey t-shirt with purple and silver “Prompt Mavericks” roundel logo on dark purple gradient background

    Who prompts wins. An identity for a graduate team, designed to reflect their role in driving rapid experimentation with AI.

  • Metal pin badge of Prompt Mavericks wing symbol in bright and dark purple on soft dark grey fabric
  • Man in black trousers and white trainers holding purple Prompt Mavericks tote with wing logo and silver campaign text against grey background

Client feedback

The cultural and financial implications of GenAI are seismic, especially for an organisation of our scale, with the potential to positively impact so many customers. Getting the response right early is critical. Clout has made this daunting topic accessible, uniting our workforce around a clear movement that’s inspiring proactive decisions and, most importantly, inclusion. The impact is profound.
