Hi, My name is Murphy. I manage talent & communications in contemporary design, art, luxury & entertainment. I connect people, ideas & businesses to create extraordinary experiences. To follow are samples of some projects. ! CREATIVITY! PEOPLE! ! BUSINESS! !
ALEXA PULITZER! Stationery & Home Goods Designer/Manufacturer! Opened new business accounts with corporate retailers for exclusive paper collections.
PANDORA RADIO COMES TO NOLA FOR JAZZ FEST 2012! ! The wonderful crew from Pandora Radio, including Founder Tim Westergren bounced into New Orleans for their first Jazz Fest. Working closely with their PR team in Oakland, I spear-headed a carefully tailored VIP immersion into the festival and the authentic hidden gems of the city. Navigating New Orleans efficiently requires an acquired set of skills (and endurance). Time was of the essence (Tim had only 24 hours in town!), hence I rallied the troops to ensure the red carpet rolled out without a hitch and all resources were maximized.
Check out the Highlights in Pandora Community Manager, Aaron Morgan's Blog post!! ! 
 We were lucky to have a behind-the scenes tour of The Music Box, which is "a 
 shantytown sound laboratory." It's an interactive musical installation in the 
 Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans consisting of several playhouse-like sized May 4, 2012

 structures - a Disneyland for musicians. Each small building houses one or New Orleans is the birthplace of jazz, it is a place where generations upon several instruments, some unconventional and some more recognizable. We met a generations of musicians have cultivated their unique sounds, you can feel it and few of the artists and jammed on some of the instruments - I had to be wrangled hear it as you walk through the city, there is nothing else quite like it.
 out from behind the drum set so we could continue our tour! Later that night we learned about new genre that's adding to the musical heritage of New 
 Orleans: Bounce. Local artists Nicki da B and Big Freedia performed and A few of us from Pandora were very lucky to attend this year's Jazz and Heritage everyone was "getting down shaking it."
 Festival and we soaked in the amazing sounds, hospitality and culture of the city.  
 Our founder, Tim, and leader of music curation, Addi, spoke at the Sync Up Lastly and certainly not least, this year's Jazz Fest coincided with the first-ever conference, which is put on in conjunction with the festival. We also met up with International Jazz Day. The event was celebrated with performances by Herbie some of our New Orleans listeners at a Sunday morning Town Hall. It was great Hancock, Kermit Ruffins, Ellis Marsalis and several other iconic artists at sunrise to connect with our local New Orleans listeners amid such a musical weekend.
 at Congo Square in Louis Armstrong Park. It was truly a treat top off an already  
 music filled weekend and to be surrounded by such legendary talent so early in We had some amazing musical experiences on the streets of the city, both at the morning.! and outside of the festival, thanks to a couple of wonderful local guides who quickly became our newest friends.
 I already miss New Orleans though I feel like I've carried an important part of 
 it back with me and deeper appreciate what we strive to do at Pandora: provide We attended a midnight concert at the historic Preservation Hall, featuring people with music they'll love. The power of music is strong. Thank you, New Preservation Hall's own New Orleans style jazz band. Sitting on wooden Orleans!! benches in the small and historic French Quarter performance space, watching a 
 band whose tradition has been carried on through the decades, it felt like we had -Aaron (Community Manager)
 traveled back in time. The microphone cut out early in the show and the players  
 carried on without missing a beat and, when they brought a non-electric  
 megaphone to sing through, we really did travel back in time!!

John d’Addario, a curator at the New Orleans Museum of Art, has lived in the Marigny since 1997. “It has the same housing stock as the French Messinger says the Bywater has the largest stock of historic homes in the city. “Primarily single- and double-shotguns [narrow rectangular houses !

It included not just the French Association.! about a year and a half ago – it was artists that bought it,” Francher explains. And d’Addario agrees. “They’re rebranding that into an arts Quarter but also two neighbourhoods little known outside the city: the district and in the next 10 years there will be even more radical changes.

    PANDORA RADIO COMESTO NOLA FOR JAZZ FEST 2012! ! The wonderful crew from Pandora Radio, including Founder Tim Westergren bounced into New Orleans for their first Jazz Fest. Working closely with their PR team in Oakland, I spear-headed a carefully tailored VIP immersion into the festival and the authentic hidden gems of the city. Navigating New Orleans efficiently requires an acquired set of skills (and endurance). Time was of the essence (Tim had only 24 hours in town!), hence I rallied the troops to ensure the red carpet rolled out without a hitch and all resources were maximized.
