Razorfish is one of the largest interactive agencies in the world and currently has more than 2,000 employees in 20 offices in seven countries (Australia, China, France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States) focusing exclusively on digital marketing and technology.

Each office is filled with opportunities for people who want to invent the digital future. It's a big challenge, but it's a big Internet, and there's work to be done.

What’s it like?

Everyone always says the thing about our place is the people. Why is everyone so great? Maybe it’s that we attract talented people at the top of their game who want to push the boundaries of what is possible in digital. Maybe it’s the relaxed atmosphere that allows some of our more ‘out there’ characters to be themselves at work. The size and scope of our clients and projects often means we’re working right at the forefront of what’s possible in digital, with all the excitement and pressure that can go along with that. A sense of humour and a respect for the many different disciplines needed to get the job done are essential ingredients here.

We’ve got a long history of working for high-profile charity clients, so there’s always a mixture of commercial work and more issues-based projects to keep things interesting. We also work hard to make sure that technically, creatively and professionally our projects are leading examples of what can be done in digital when we all work together. So far our clients, the industry at large and the awards judges all seem to agree.
