MurphyEpson is a female-owned communication + engagement + public affairs firm driven by the greater good. For more than 35 years, we have been bringing all voices to the table to shape stronger communities. We’ve built trust, moved hardened opinions and cultivated champions. All while creating best practices along the way.
We bridge the gaps between policy initiatives, public acceptance and implementation. We translate complex ideas into easy-to-understand language and use our proven, fair processes to build consent.
We dive deep into the policy issues that make communities thrive. From public infrastructure investments to housing and health policy, we make it our business to understand the nuances of policymaking and the technical details in the industries we serve. After all, to give the public a voice in decision-making, we need - and they need - to understand what’s at stake.
Whether the goal is to win community consent for positive change, or elevate or rebuild a reputation, everyone needs to be on the same page. Our process of Discovery, Strategy and Delivery leads to mutual understanding and, ultimately, the stakeholder or public support needed to achieve community improvement goals.
How? First, we listen. Then, we combine that input with our policy expertise and a team of copywriters, art directors and media pros who know how to tell the story.
We layer proactive engagement processes onto this sound foundation of consistent, concise and clear communication.
Change is hard. Saying “no” is easy. How do you get skeptical, potentially angry residents to say “yes” to a community improvement or policy initiative?
Our proven MurphyEpson methodology moves audiences from anger or disinterest to acceptance and even enthusiastic support.
It all starts with respect. We bring everyone to the table - even the most vocal opponents - to provide fair and equitable opportunities for all to share their knowledge and opinions. We listen to what they have to say - and then prove it.
Are you navigating a crisis or controversy? Is your reputation at risk? We’re on call 24-7 to assist clients in the heat of the moment. We will also work with your team to put a crisis management strategy in place to handle possible scenarios.
Or, do you just have great news to share? We’ll develop your strategy, write the pitches, and draw from our deep relationships in the print and broadcast media to raise your visibility.
Because of our policy knowledge and long-standing relationships with the public sector, we also connect clients to newsworthy thought leadership opportunities that might not otherwise be apparent.
We’ll help you create and leverage content across all your own platforms, from internal newsletters to blogs and social media, to get your news out, unfiltered.
