Stung by cutbacks and failures among its emerging technology clients, the Leo Burnett Technology Group laid off approximately 10 percent of its work force last week, with most cuts coming in its Boston and San Francisco offices.

“With the technology crash, a lot of the companies in our portfolio have cut back spending or ceased to exist,” said Sean Bisceglia, CEO of the unit formerly known as TFA/Leo Burnett Technology Group.

All told, about 25 staffers were shown the door.
