History: Having met James Murphy in New York in 2001, during the fledgling years of the DFA label, I
quickly forged a long term partnership that has lasted almost 15 years. This period has seen him sign to EMI
and release four acclaimed albums, go through three different manager regimes, remix David Bowie, score
a hit Broadway play, produce a Grammy nominated album with Arcade Fire and release a full-length feature
documentary - having retired his band in their prime after a final show at Madison Square Gardens. I remain
his longest advisor and confident having worked as a publicist, radio plugger, strategist and occasional
stand-in manager during this time.
Strategy: From the beginning I knew how important it was that Murphy was given a platform to
articulate his incredible knowledge, passion and understanding of music. Already considered old when
founding the band at 30, it was key for media to fall for his charms and over the past fifteen years we have
fostered long term relationships with publications, radio stations and production companies that have
allowed him to remain as relevant to his peers as he was in 2002.
Results: I was responsible for international album publicity campaigns resulting in huge global coverage
across print, digital, radio and TV and the worldwide release of Shut Up And Play The Hits - a feature
length film documentary – which premiered to amazing response at Sundance in 2012. Highlights include
three separate Guardian Guide covers, an in-depth BBC Culture Show feature, BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend
appearance, Albums of the year in the Guardian and Uncut, Six NME single of the weeks and finally after
nine years of solid plugging – his first NME cover in 2010 at the age of 40. Most recently we have been
working towards the commission of a BBC Radio 3 documentary focusing on his on-going campaign to bring
electronic sounds to the turnstiles across the New York City Subway system.
