About

SapientRazorfish was Publicis Groupe's digital and customer-experience agency, formed in 2016 by merging two of the group's businesses — SapientNitro and Razorfish — under SapientNitro chief executive Alan Wexler. It no longer exists as a brand. In 2019 Publicis consolidated SapientRazorfish and Sapient Consulting into Publicis Sapient, a single digital business transformation agency led by Nigel Vaz. Andrew Kirby spoke for SapientRazorfish at TechTO MarketingTO in January 2018, tracing how the balance of power between agencies and their clients shifted from the mid-1990s onward as the internet grew up. He is now managing director for North America at Apply Digital.
