Warwick Baker O’Neill is closing its doors after 62 years due to the loss of client business. Wilder Baker, chairman and CEO, informed the 55-person staff earlier early Wednesday, according to a statement.

The New York-based shop, which has claimed $160 million in billings, has suffered client defections this year, notably the $10 million Panasonic electric shavers business and $10 million East Coast Energy Council account. In 2000, the agency lost its premier $15-20 million Fruit of the Loom account.
