Linda Popky, Strategic Development Board, Watermark

Our roots extend beyond the 2005 founding of ClearAction experience leadership by Lynn Hunsaker and 2006 founding of Marketing Operations Partners by Gary Katz.

It all started with Lynn’s MBA in marketing and VoC for Sonoco’s Strategic Planning and Gary’s USF master’s thesis on Organization Change & Development Model for Public Relations.

ClearAction Continuum was formed through a long collaboration and merger of these two firms in 2017, launching the Experience Value Exchange for CX, CS, EX and Marketing teams.

The Experience Value Exchange helps you drive customer value growth through ease of work and ease of doing business: accountability → alignment → agility.
