Actis Systems significantly bolstered its position and service offering through a marriage with the Russian office of the Wunderman network, a member of the WPP family. Wunderman's expertise in the areas of BTL and CRM, as well as world-class knowledge of interactivity, analytics and measurement combines with our 10-year experience of digital development in Russia and the CIS to produce one of the strongest digital agencies in the region. The two agencies will continue operating under separate brands and will unite under the leadership of Actis Systems' management (Edward Grinbukh and Anya Sverdlov).

Wunderman's global network spans more than 15 companies across 130+ offices in 55 countries. The network has an enviable roster of blue chip clients and expertise across every channel and discipline. Last year, Advertising Age ranked Wunderman the #1 marketing services network in the world. In the U.S. and around the world, Wunderman consistently ranks in the Top 10 Direct and Digital agency lists. The Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival has recognized Wunderman's work with the Direct Grand Prix two years in a row and Forrester Research has acknowledged the depth of its capabilities. Wunderman, part of Young & Rubicam Brands, is a member of WPP (NASDAQ: WPPGY).
