Stellium, a marketing and law firm, worked with ColorJar to create a unified brand for their diverse services. ColorJar initially gathered information about the company through interviews with leadership and research into customer perceptions. The project was broken into two phases: strategic foundation, which focused on defining mission and values, and brand expression, which brought the visuals to life. Deliverables included a mission statement, purpose, and vision in a deck, logo design, color scheme, brand book, and brand guidelines. They invested $125,000 in the project, which ran from April to November 2021.

Swish House, a basketball fitness company, hired ColorJar for a complete rebranding and web development. The aim was to better communicate the company's mission of making people healthier and happier through basketball. ColorJar created a new name, logo, color scheme, and brand book, designed marketing materials, and developed a website using Squarespace. The website features a booking feature integrated with Mindbody software, enabling users to schedule classes. The project began in Q1 2017 and has continued on a project basis, with the most recent task being a site refresh in late 2022. The company invested over $10,000 in the project.

ColorJar was contracted by a hairstyling products manufacturing company to provide comprehensive branding and marketing services. They conducted market research, developed a branding strategy, created brand guidelines including logos and color palettes, and designed various marketing materials. They also ran marketing and advertising campaigns across multiple platforms, including social media, email, and SEO. The team included a creative director, a graphic designer, and social media content developers. The project began in January 2019 and is ongoing, though less active due to a shift in the company's direction. The investment in the project has exceeded $500,000.
