About Razorfish
Razorfish is a global digital marketing agency delivering experience design, technology, and marketing services to help brands grow in the digital age.
Editorial Assessment
Razorfish is one of the original digital agencies, founded in the mid-1990s during the early commercial internet era and widely credited as a pioneer of digital marketing and interactive experience design. The agency spent years as an independent powerhouse before a series of corporate acquisitions — passing through Microsoft, Publicis Groupe, and SapientNitro — and is now part of Publicis Groupe, operating under the Publicis Communications network. Despite these ownership changes, the Razorfish name has endured as a recognized brand in digital marketing. Razorfish today positions itself as a full-service digital agency specializing in experience design, data-driven marketing, technology enablement, and creative campaigns. The firm's heritage in digital — predating the smartphones, social media, and programmatic advertising that now define the industry — gives it deep roots in user experience, information architecture, and platform technology that continue to inform its work. Razorfish has worked with major brands across automotive, financial services, consumer goods, retail, and technology sectors. The agency's capabilities span brand strategy and creative, digital experience and platform development, performance marketing and media, data and analytics, and customer relationship management. As part of Publicis Groupe, Razorfish benefits from shared technology infrastructure through Publicis Sapient's engineering resources, Epsilon's data assets, and Publicis Media's buying power — allowing it to offer clients integrated solutions that span strategy, technology, and media within a single holding company ecosystem. Razorfish is particularly recognized for its emphasis on connecting data insights to creative execution, positioning CX (customer experience) transformation as its core value proposition for large enterprise clients.
