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.
