I solve business problems with ideas. Two of my campaigns have been succeeding for nearly 20 years. I've recently created social media videos for Disney, NBC Sports and Patron. One of my PR ideas was among ESPN’s top 10 plays of the week. And I have a TV spot in MOMA’s permanent collection. Ad agencies hire me for pitches and account saves. Marketers hire me to work with their ad departments. Entrepreneurs hire me because I'm one of them. johnmurphy.com
