Hey, I know it’s complicated.
We love complicated.

At Murphy Marketing, we get it. Agonizing over every sentence is the pits. That’s why we’ve devoted our business to making sure that your message gets its chance to be heard and understood by your audience.

We’ve done this before, and we can do it for you, too. From companies that calculate ROI to car seat specialists, and so much more, we’ve helped hundreds of complicated messages become clear and simple — even if what you do isn’t.

 

Hey y’all, I’m Katie.

I used to be extremely shy — I acted like I didn’t have a voice and forced my younger sister to order my chicken fingers. This was until I got a job at my college newspaper. I quickly learned to get really good at asking a lot of people a lot of questions.

At the Berry College Campus Carrier, I always volunteered for the most difficult and complicated stories. I loved the challenge of distilling information so that other college kids would understand and even —gasp— want to read.

Turns out, I had a knack for knowing which words resonate, so I channeled that by creating Murphy Marketing. Since 2010, I’ve helped organizations find the right words to express themselves and invite others to join in. And now, my team and I are here to serve you and create clear messaging for your complicated business.

We want you to feel confident about the future of your business.

 
 

We’re good at asking questions and listening to the answers.

We know you’re the expert at what you do. We simply want to help you uncover the words that showcase your innovative business. We expect helpful feedback and for everyone to come prepared for calls. If you need more time, just ask. We’ll do the same. If you have questions, we want to discuss them. Our work is best when it’s a team sport.

 

We care about people.

We put ourselves in your shoes (our clients and your clients) in order to choose our course of action. We listen to learn what you really need, and then we dive deeper to find out what challenge you’re seeking to solve. If we can help, we do!

  • We all know that ‘time is money.’

    “Our investment in Katie has saved us invaluable time and has made us money. Now, we’re able to get our message out to customers through a clear and compelling message. So often those of us in a business or organization have so much on our plate to launch or scale the business that we lose focus on the message we are trying to present to potential customers. Katie helped us quickly develop a message that someone who did not know anything about us would be able to understand so they’d know how our resource could help them accomplish their purpose.”

    — Jay Mcswain | PLACE Ministries

  • We’re able to understand and communicate what our true value is...

    “Our organization has struggled for years to create a clear message about what we provide. After working with Katie, we’re able to understand and communicate what our true value is in the marketplace and how we’re different from other options out there. Katie expertly and patiently guided our team through the process, and now we’re able to cut out the fluff and clearly speak to our customer base about the benefit they’ll receive by attending our school.”

    — Drew Carl | Interactive College of Technology
