Razorfish Named a Leader among U.S. Interactive Marketing Agencies in Strategy and Execution by Independent Research Firm

Razorfish (www.razorfish.com), one of the world's largest digital agencies, today announced that it was cited as a Leader in "The Forrester Wave(TM): U.S. Interactive Marketing Agencies -- Strategy and Execution, Q3 2009 (http://www.forrester.com/rb/Research/wave%26trade%3B_us_interactive_agencies_%26%238212%3B_strategy_and/q/id/53604/t/2)." The August 2009 report evaluates how effectively the top full-service interactive agencies lead and implement digital strategies and programs for their clients.

Razorfish is one of only two agencies to be cited as a Leader in both the Digital Strategy and Execution Wave and the June 2009 report The Forrester Wave(TM): Interactive Marketing Agencies -- Web Design Capabilities, Q2 2009 (http://www.forrester.com/rb/Research/wave%26trade%3B_interactive_marketing_agencies_%26%238212%3B_web_design/q/id/47087/t/2).

Razorfish earned this distinction by excelling against Forrester's 39 criteria points, which range from the agency's offerings in measurement and analytics to its focus on innovation to client satisfaction. Moreover, Razorfish earned the highest score in the Emerging Media Capabilities category, earning a 4.9 out of 5.0.

According to the report, "Razorfish is a Leader because of its ability to develop highly rated digital strategy, its proficiency with emerging media and its above average scores in development and execution of high quality interactive campaigns." The report went on to say that "Razorfish is best suited for marketers seeking a large and capable digital agency to lead strategy and provide a full suite of services."

"Razorfish is pleased to be recognized by Forrester as a Leader amongst our agency peers," said Bob Lord, Global CEO at Razorfish. "By applying digital marketing capabilities, technology and measurement expertise, we help our clients build brands through action, not just messages. Razorfish and our clients respect Forrester as an objective standard for our industry, so being named a Leader by them is an important reflection of our role as stewards of the brand experience for our clients."

Barry Judge, CMO at Best Buy (www.bestbuy.com), said, "Razorfish has been a valuable Best Buy partner for years. The Forrester Wave substantiates Razorfish's position as a leader and its importance to clients."

In addition to ranking at the top for emerging media, Razorfish also received top scores in discovery and innovation and market presence.
