AllianceHCM

A name can carry decades of trust and still undersell the business. Alliance Payroll Services, founded in Houston in 1989 and now one of the nation's largest privately held human capital management software providers, had evolved over the years to offer a full array of HCM services. No longer simply a payroll services company, Alliance needed a brand that reflected its increased value to customers in its marketplace. WWC led the full nationwide rebrand, researching Alliance's customer base to gauge brand strength, retaining the Alliance name to preserve its equity, and repositioning the company as AllianceHCM in 2020 with a signature service promise and a visual identity built on energy and integrated service. Immediately following launch, the rebrand had retained 100% of existing clients while opening the door to expanded services and new business.

WWC researched its current client base and potential customers to determine the strength of the company’s existing brand. Re-brand the company to project its energy, inventiveness, and suite of comprehensive services as a leader in the HCM industry without sacrificing years of positive equity in the Alliance brand.
