Cohesion and Creativity at the Center of The Archer Group’s New Office

8/15/17

WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As The Archer Group enters the next stage of its life, the digital agency announced that it has moved to a new larger office that will house their nearly 80 professionals. With the addition of numerous collaboration spaces, collision points, breakout areas with cozy finishes, and even a speakeasy-style lounge area, the new space fosters camaraderie and creativity among its employees. The new office is located at 600 North King Street.

Archer now has 27,000 square feet of office space—nearly double the size of its former headquarters—to accommodate its increasing business offerings and better serve its growing client roster. The digital marketing and advertising agency has signed a 10-year, six-month lease with AIG. NELSON, the architecture firm with a portfolio including Nielsen and Ogilvy & Mather, brought the vision for Archer’s new office to life.

“When we imagined the office, we wanted to create a space where professionalism and creativity could collide to drive our agency forward, and I think we’ve more than accomplished this goal,” said Mike Derins, CEO of The Archer Group. “After only a few days in the space, we’re already seeing more interaction among teams, collaboration on projects, people gathering together for lunch, and an immediate impact on our creative energy. Clients will benefit, too, and they’ll get to visit our exciting new office space.”

A significantly upgraded lab space will showcase the agency’s new projects, display solutions, digital signage, touchscreens, and virtual reality and augmented reality technologies to better represent its capabilities.

“The space provides room to grow in every department,” said Derins. “As the digital landscape changes, we want the flexibility to add to departments when needed, without our floorplan restricting us.”

New employee perks come along with the new location, including close proximity to I-95 and the train station, on-site underground parking, a newly renovated front entrance, and upgrades throughout the building. Features and amenities to enhance company culture and offerings include:

  • Spacious kitchen, including a full bar with beer and wine refrigerators
  • 10 conference rooms
  • 8 breakout rooms for brainstorming and informal meetings
  • Upgraded lab space, with AR and VR demonstration
  • Large common area with stadium seating
  • Speakeasy-style lounge tucked behind a bookcase
  • Custom-built furniture and fixtures
  • Coffee bar for clients
  • Outdoor seating with grassy area for lawn games
  • Weekly food trucks
  • Plans for building a fitness center and on-site café

The new office is in Courthouse Square, the multi-tenant, 10-story high rise in downtown Wilmington, which is just a few blocks from Archer’s old office at 233 North King Street. By staying in the heart of downtown Wilmington, Archer intends to remain a fixture in the community.
