Chris is the founder of Murphy & Company, a growth practice for deep tech and frontier technology founders. He helps the people building genuinely hard technology translate what they have built into something investors, customers and talent understand and back. He calls the problem he solves the commercial translation gap: the distance between what a company has built and what the market understands it to be.
After fifteen years building brands, Chris now points that craft at the hardest brief in marketing, making world-changing science legible and fundable. His earlier career spans leading Performance Digital at The Hallway Group, running the global KitKat “Snap out of it” campaign at Wunderman Thompson, launching Toyota and Qantas work at BWM Dentsu, and starting out as the youngest pan-European Account Manager at Saatchi & Saatchi London.
A long-time advocate for graduate employment in the creative industry, Chris launched the YouTube channel “Sh*t. What now?” in 2021 to help young people break in. His work has been recognised by B&T’s 30 Under 30, Mumbrella and AdNews. Outside work, he plays rugby, with international caps in both codes for the Philippines, and has no plans to retire just yet.
