DALLAS–The Focus Agency here will be closing its doors, industry sources said, after losing its last remaining client, Shell Energy, and failing to gain any new business.

About 15-20 employees will be affected.

Staffers at the Omnicom agency, housed within the Irving, Texas, complex of direct marketer Rapp Collins, declined comment on Friday. “We’re instructed not to say anything–I’m sorry,” said one.

Mark Miller, who is the president and CEO of Rapp Collins and has headed Rapp since the departure of some of the agency’s top executives early this year, said he announced the loss of the $16-20 million account to staffers on Thursday.
