Just months after Leo Burnett Technology Group abruptly closed its office here, three of its former staffers have hung out their own shingle.

The staffers are Robert Ahearn, Bryan Birch and Robert Graup, and the shop has been christened Jumbo shrimp. It begins operations with several former Burnett clients on board: Check Point Technology, an Internet security company, and Merant and UpShot, two software providers. The accounts total roughly $10 million in billings.

Ahearn serves as managing director, Birch is creative director and Graup is planning director.
