A Net-New Brand Identity

Building a Category From Stealth to Stage

Clario was racing toward launch with enterprise technology built to ready data for AI, but no brand to carry it. There was no brand strategy or visual languagejust a deadline and a team ready to move.

A Net-New Brand Identity

The Challenge

Clario created an enterprise technology that readies data for AI deployment. Working toward a hard launch date to announce their initial funding, the startup needed a brand identity in a matter of weeks, including everything strategy and messaging to visual identity that could be implemented across launch materials—and survive an overnight internal rollout.

A Net-New Brand Identity

The Solution

Because Clario was defining the data hygiene category, we developed a visual identity that would stand out from the blue-purple enterprise technology sea. We opted for a warm citrus palette found on everything from keynote presentations to the napkins at a 70-person executive dinner. We handed off Google-Workspace-safe typography and messaging to empower internal teams to move at the pace of their ambition.
