Urban Emu was hired by a small LLC to develop a mobile app aimed at helping individuals overcome the anxiety associated with public speaking. The previous prototypes developed by another team were unsatisfactory, leading to a waste of resources. Urban Emu stepped in to reorganize and oversee the development of the app, which features communication areas, swiping technology, a live presentation area, and a video library. The team consisted of three main individuals, including the CEO, a Senior Digital Designer, and a developer. The entire project cost around $15,000 and began in 2016 or 2017.

In another project, Urban Emu collaborated with the USDA/CNPP to develop and design two new websites and a mobile app. One of the websites is primarily informational with a feature that allows people to register for public meetings while the other is purely informational and includes an animated infographic. The mobile app, compatible with the Apple Watch, was designed for consumers. The team is currently developing an Alexa Skill and overhauling the consumer website for MyPlate. The engagement, which began in January 2018, has cost between $250,000 and $500,000.

Urban Emu was also involved in a branding project for an industrial specialty chemical company. The company's previous website was outdated and poorly designed, prompting Urban Emu to develop logos and create an entirely new website. The website was designed to be user-friendly, with products categorized by market and product type. Additionally, they ensured the wording was appropriate due to the liability associated with industrial specialty chemicals. The team consisted of four main individuals, including the CEO, a Senior Designer, an Account Support, and a Director of Client Engagement. The project, which started in October 2019, has cost between $10,000 and $15,000.
