Messaging from someone who cares about how it feels on both sides of the screen
I believe the best work happens in partnership. If that’s your philosophy too, we’re going to get along just fine.
Hi, I’m Katie
Hi, I’m Katie Lantukh, founder of Murphy Marketing—and if you’ve ever felt like marketing is a necessary evil, you’re
not alone.
I started this studio because I kept seeing smart, values-driven business owners pour time, energy, and budget into strategies that didn’t feel like them—and didn’t work, either. They sounded like everyone else. They felt gross doing it. And they still weren’t reaching the right people.
I think you deserve better.
I help founders and small teams cut through the noise and reconnect with what makes them different. Not louder. Not flashier. Just clearer, more grounded, and true to who they are.
Over the last decade, I’ve worked with nearly 400 brands—from law firms and leadership coaches to health clinics, agencies, and creative teams.
Some came to me mid-pivot. Some were launching something bold and new. Others were just tired of throwing money at tactics that didn’t move the needle.
The common thread was they needed a message that actually sounded like them—and a strategy built to last.
At Murphy Marketing, we build both.
We start with your values, your vision and your voice. Then we build from there.
That foundation makes everything else clear and easy. You (and your audience) feel heard, not rushed. Seen, not sold to.
We’ll ask thoughtful questions, uncover the message beneath the industry buzzwords, and build a strategy that feels like you.
In fact, my goal is to create a message that you’re so proud of, you find yourself naturally working in your elevator pitch by the pool this summer.
What makes us different?
Our work together is built on real trust—and that starts with how I show up. These are the values I lead with, and the ones I hope you’ll feel in every interaction.
You can expect these values
01.
Unity:
This is a team sport. Great things happen when I combine your vision with our strategy, your story with our wordsmithing. We are in a boat, paddling in the same direction to help you grow your business and impact.
02.
Collaboration:
You know your business. I know how to craft messaging that connects. We’ll work side-by-side to find the story that feels right to you and speaks clearly to the people you want to reach. Thus – No ego, amigo. We’ll create an honest partnership, pulling in the same direction.
03.
Compassion:
Success follows clarity. I hope you’ll use it to read a book by the ocean, but I guess the mountains will work too.
Better Together
No Ego, Amigo
Care Bear Energy
Our Team and

In keeping with the unity theme, I believe in staying in my zone of genius—and calling in other brilliant humans who bring theirs.

From copy to design to SEO and systems, these are the folks who help bring your vision to life with excellence, care, and integrity.
