Citing the slow economy and a lack of new business, Saatchi & Saatchi decided to close its office here on Tuesday, agency officials said.

“This isn’t driven by the work or the quality of people… we just didn’t have the business to support (the office),” said Julie Bauer, managing partner of Saatchi in New York and former head of the San Francisco office.
