Jeff Dachis, the digital media wunderkind who started Razorfish back in the '90s, is building a social business empire.
In the 1990s, Jeff Dachis started the interactive marketing and design agency Razorfish on the simple premise that, “everything that can be digital, will be.” Then around 2007, with Web 2.0 on the rise, a new idea began bubbling up: everything that can be social, will be. And just like that, Dachis was on to his next big thing.
In 2008, Dachis scored $50 million from Texas-based Austin Ventures to found Dachis Group. Late last year Dachis sewed up the market by acquiring Powered, Archrival and Stuzo. And last week, the company snagged another $30 million in funding. It’s currently the world’s largest social business consultancy with clients such as American Express, Coca Cola, P&G and Samsung. It's been quite a third act for Dachis.
