As in a river, so in a writing, clearness is the best quality, and a little that is pure is worth more than much that is mixed.
—Henry Van Dyke

Enjoy a few obscure photographs from memorable moments in the creative industry.
I believe the right words come with ease for a company that knows itself. And those words are buzzing with energy.
That’s me. A slight smirk is my natural state, but you can tell by those smile lines that I’ve loved my calling. Years in this industry are multiplied. Rarely do people stay in without burning out or offering generic solutions.
Why is that a big deal? You need an interpreter who you trust to lean in and not lean back. One who makes strong recommendations, tempered by time. One who seeks to know your company’s heart and deliver custom solutions that resonate with your team and audience.
My name is Chris Murphy—a loving husband, father of three, and loyal friend. And here’s my promise to you: I will listen without distraction. I will be smart with your time. I will care for your team. And l’ll give you all I have in the tank.
Because when you’re using your God-given gifts, they give even more back to you. My tank is never dry.
I’ve served for-profit and nonprofit clients for 15+ years, from small startup to $1B+ equity partners, both in agencies and in-house. My work has crossed all content mediums and hit industries across the spectrum.
My values are my mission.
Purity
The creative process is at its strongest without distraction. Likewise, the messaging of a strong and focused company culture.
Accuracy
The greatest dart ever thrown would still miss without a target—seek first the outcome, and the rest follows.
Longevity
Like a ship sailing across a sea, one degree off-course will shift the landing. Get the ball rolling is the norm, but not the solution.
Humanity
The point of human purpose points back to people. And if people build companies, then our companies must follow suit.
