Razorfish Execs Leave for Microsoft After Publicis Deal
(Advertising Age)
The most significant implication of this story locally is a possible first step towards the integration of Digitas Health and Razorfish's (now both part of Publicis) health practice. Katy Thorbahn, former GM of Razorfish Philadelphia, will now head up Razorfish health, reporting to Digitas Health CEO David Kramer, though both will retain their own brands for now at least.
See my story from March on Razorfish Phildelphia and Katy Thorbahn.

Deloitte Philly Fast 50
The Deloitte Philly Fast 50 is out, representing Deloitte's take on the 50 fastest growing companies in the area.
Unlike the Philadelphia 100, the Deloitte list does include publicly traded companies. Unlike the Inc. 5000 , revenue is not shown for Deloitte companies unless they are also on Deloitte Fast 500 nationwide rankings.
As I reported earlier, The Neat Company was the top area company on the "Fast 500" and is also tops on the Philly Fast 50. However, another company that did not appear on Fast 500, eZanga, an internet advertising firm in Middletown DE, is ranked #2 on the Philly Fast 50.
