SapientRazorfish Unveils New Offering: Combines Consulting, Ad Services

Part of what agencies do is help businesses “transform” to be relevant and viable in the connected world. The recently merged SapientRazorfish intends to help with those client transformations as it completes one of its own. 

Last November Publicis Groupe merged SapientNitro and its struggling Razorfish operation. Today the company outlined a refreshed set of capabilities that the new entity is presenting to clients. 

According to the firm the new offering combines the strengths of consultancies and agencies. The core offering includes: Digital Business Strategy & Innovation; Customer Experience; Data & Artificial Intelligence; Marketing Modernization; IT Modernization and commerce. 

“The market clearly needs a partner that drives real and sustainable business transformation for the connected age through an obsessive focus on the customer,” stated Publicis Groupe CEO Maurice Lévy. “Today’s business leaders are realizing that a bifurcated approach of leaning on agencies to transform experiences and on consulting partners to transform business processes no longer works – it’s too slow, too fractured, organizationally unsustainable and most importantly, the focus on the customer gets lost in the complexity.”

Thus, the firm hopes the integrated offering presented by SapientRazorfish will serve as an alternative to that fractured bifurcated approach that clients will embrace.

Former SapientNitro CEO Alan Wexler was tapped to lead the merged entity as CEO, and Shannon Denton, who has been CEO at Razorfish, shifted to the new position of Chief Strategy Officer for SapientRazorfish and head of global practices for Publicis.Sapient.

    It was Levy's intent to apply Sapient's well regarded digital tech consulting to Publicis agencies in order to reposition the organization as a marketing consukltancy beyond the established agency practice. With all of Sapient involved (not just interctive agency Nitro,) Publicis has the most robust consulting experience of any holding company. Here's to them if it works in the real world like it looks on the org charts.
