— Razorfish is closing their Ft. Lauderdale office. The 2 remaining clients there have been notified and the 7 or so employees will either be laid of or will work remotely. "We're also moving our U.S. office operations to a more collaborative model, including the introduction of flexible, virtual working arrangements in our Boston, Ft. Lauderdale, Los Angeles, and Portland offices. We're continuing to service our clients in those markets in a smarter, more efficient way," employees were told in an e-mail earlier today.

Apparently at one point the agency was telling their clients that they were planning to renovate those offices.
