The end of an era as Moonfish closes its doors...

How Do are reporting that Moonfish, the Manchester-based digital marketing agency are closing their doors. Moonfish were one of the pioneers in the Manchester digital marketing agency scene. Despite losing some key staff to Pavilion Communication in recent years, the agency still had an impressive client list, including Cisco, Carphone Warehouse, Swinton Insurance, Thus, English Partnerships and Fujitsu. Just last week they announced they had won the Opal Telecom account (not all that surprising as Opal are part of Carphone Warehouse, but nonetheless, not to be sniffed at).

A statement from Moonfish speaks of differences between key shareholders on the future strategy. The shutdown appears to have come suddenly, however - staff were told to go home and some clients have been looking to other agencies to pick up work that was begun but not yet completed.
