In the customer engagement strategy segment ranking, Wunderman earned the report's highest scores for data resources, database management, professional services and global support, and received among the second highest scores for privacy and security.

In the research report, Shar VanBoskirk, vice president and principal analyst at Forrester, writes, "Data powerhouse Wunderman (including KBM Group) is a leader for its breadth of primary data assets, speed of database implementation, and approach to data privacy and governance." Later in the report, she writes, "Wunderman is as good at customer and business strategy as it is at database operations."
