The business

They had become a construction-technology company serving sophisticated US clients.

The gap

They still looked like an early-stage business.

What we did

  • Repositioning
  • Brand identity
  • Website

Scope: Brand + Website

The business

Where the company had got to

ARK Simplify had grown beyond the way its existing brand and digital presence represented it. The business needed a clearer, more mature and more cohesive way to present its capabilities to an international B2B audience.

The gap

What buyers saw

The operational and technical capability of the business had progressed, but the external presentation still reflected an earlier stage. The brand and website needed to make the company easier to understand and more credible in the context of the clients it wanted to serve.

The idea

The one true thing we built it on

The mark grew from a ship’s wheel: the idea of steering complex construction work with clarity, reduced step by step into a single symbol.

The origin: a ship’s wheel, and the people it steers for.

The system

What we built, in use

One idea carried through every touchpoint: the identity, the screens and the places buyers meet the company.
