Cam Marston , North Carolina USA

Cam's programs and concepts are the result of more than eight years' extensive research and study inside businesses of all sizes and sectors. In the course of his work, he has interviewed hundreds of representatives of the various generations. Their answers are interesting - sometimes surprising - and always valuable. Marston began his generational-focused consultancy after several years selling for Nestle Brands Foodservice Company. While at Nestle he discovered that he developed closer relationships with his customers when he talked to them about subjects that appealed to their value systems. He soon learned that his customers had many different values but the values were roughly the same in each generation. In 1996 he founded Marston Communications. Originally his clients engaged him to conduct surveys, focus groups, and research on both their customer and employee bases. Cam's results revealed significant generational differences that his clients had never recognized.
