Biography

I am one of three principals at Murray, a leading design and technology studio in NJ (http://www.murraymedia.com). We inspire audiences by creating integrated marketing communications that enable companies to increase awareness, sales and customer retention. Our focus includes: 1-to-1 marketing, lead generation, Content Management Systems (CMS), and branding. We are a certified development partner for the Ektron and Sitecore CMS applications

My history with Murray is integral to the spirit of creativity, as it was previously owned by my parents for 30 years. After receiving my BFA from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in Manhattan, I returned to support and implement core transformations in design and service offerings: from hand-drawn mechanicals to computer-based layout; from print to new media and Web; from local to international Fortune-level clients. I have acted as a change advocate on behalf of my clients at ADT Security Services, Calvin Klein, Schering, Simplex Grinnell, Wyndham Hospitality, Verizon Wireless, and Travelport. I have worked directly with CMO’s, entrusted to allocate marketing budgets down to the line item for companies with $6B in revenue.

I have served on the Board of Directors for the New Jersey Chapter of the International Association of Business Communicators (NJIABC); serving as President in 2005. I have lead large forums on a variety of topics, including Integrated Marketing Communications, Brand Building Through Technology, and Diversity in Communications. In 2005, I spearheaded coordination of the NJ MarCom Council to orchestrate joint networking events for the communications organizations active in New Jersey: PRSA, BMA, AMA, CCM, CCI, MENG, NJAdClub, ADCNJ, MCA-INJ and NJ/IABC. The results have been summer and holiday events now exceeding over 430 attendees and providing the opportunity for networking and to learn about the organizations. In June 2006, I was asked to serve as the Large Chapter Liaison for the IABC Heritage Region, which is comprised of 20 IABC Chapters from Kentucky to Michigan to Connecticut. I served as VP Membership on the Board of the NJ/AMA, and continue to serve as the Chairperson for the B2B Special Interest Group online forum of the AMA. In 2007, I was inducted into the NJ Advertising Hall of Fame, as well as being named one of NJBiz's top 50 Women in Business. 2008 welcomes my involvement on the Board of the NJAdClub, where I am focused on membership and quality of communications.
