Archrock

Rebrand Unites Internal Teams to Reinforce Industry Leadership

In the aftermath of an economic downturn, Archrock, North America's leading provider of natural gas compression services, had minimal brand assets and lacked a compelling narrative. We engaged with customers, leadership, HR, and employees to define a unique brand positioning based on a customer-focused strategy, uniting the company’s internal teams and reinforcing Archtech’s industry leadership.

Challenge

Lack of purpose and identity
The brand was limited to a name and logo, making it difficult to expand the business and retain team members without a clear purpose or brand.

Solution

Full brand with a clear purpose and values
Reintroduce Archrock to the market, build strong positioning, and re-energize employees while attracting new recruits.

Result

Clear brand value and awareness
Greater employee engagement and increased recruitment.
