Brief
Aon wanted to find a way to connect its 50,000 global employees in over 120 countries. They also wanted to educate and inform their 4 primary constituencies – clients (both current and prospective), colleagues/employees, communities and potential future employees – about the work and initiatives across all 5 of Aon’s divisions.
Approach
Vested and Aon created the “On Aon” podcast series, which features people, solutions, innovations and news as well as other engaging topics around culture, inclusion and diversity from around the firm and their clients. The episodes are hosted by various Aon executives from all over the world and provide a behind-the-scenes look at every division of Aon. Each show originates from a brainstorming session between Vested and Aon, where the two teams identify timely topics for discussion as well as the appropriate guests and hosts.
