A flurry of job layoffs hit agencies last week, following another quarter of client spending reductions and account shifts.

Saatchi & Saatchi laid off about 10 staffers, or roughly 2 percent of its work force in New York, confirmed an agency representative, who described the move as “belt-tightening.” The layoffs affected several departments but no senior-level positions.

At Cliff Freeman and Partners in New York, five employees, representing about 5 percent of the agency’s work force, lost their jobs last Wednesday, the agency confirmed.
