Murray has over twenty years experience in the PR industry, and has counselled high profile celebrities, Royalty and politicians along with members of the public who have all called on his expertise to either get themselves into the press, or manage stories which they would rather didn’t make the headlines! Prior to setting up his own business, Murray worked with some of the biggest names in show business including Joan Collins, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Prince, David Bowie - to name but a few. With first-hand experience of being in the media spotlight (having been embroiled in the Countess of Wessex's ‘Fake Sheik’ antics) Murray speaks with authority and wisdom unrivalled by other ‘spin doctors’. Whether you want to sell your story or need defending from the media, his unique insight will help protect as well as promote.
Murray has been behind a number of high profile campaigns and events in the last two decades – including managing ‘Page Three’ star Samantha Fox’s morale boosting trips to our troops in Bosnia, broking stories from CNN's Brent Sadler on the front line in Kuwait, handling the media surrounding the Sophie Wessex ‘Fur Hat Fiasco’, to recently masterminding the media spiral surrounding GMTV's Martin Lewis's Bank Charges Crusade - the most successful consumer revenge campaign of all time.
In addition, he has promoted a range of household names at the pinnacle of their careers - keeping them out the papers as much as in! From Anne Diamond's recent weight loss campaign, to Cybil Shepherds music career, Rosanne Barr's venture into animation, David "The Hoff" Hasselhoff's London music concerts, to "I’m A Celebrity...." jungle star David Guest, Murray has been in the background as a supportive and reliable influence.
Murray has also represented some of the biggest consumer brands including DFS, Hoover, Rover, Amstrad and Schweppes. A lot of his personal time is spent providing senior CEO's with counsel both professionally and personally - from media preparation to event management.
Not surprisingly, Murray is an expert media facilitator with contacts across the spectrum encompassing TV, Radio, national newspapers and quality ‘glossy’ magazines. 20 years in the business gives him not just the contacts, but also the sensitivity to handle hundreds of real life case studies in highly personal areas such as relationships, cosmetic surgery and weight loss, ensuring that his clients always make the optimum amount from their story without feeling exploited.
