David Murphy

David opens nearly every speaking engagement with the line, “I’m David, and I love what I get to do for a living.” And for good reason. He co-founded BD’M, subsequently named the “Best-Small Agency” by the the 4As, held leadership roles at global agencies, and management positions on the client-side. He achieved all of this for some of the world’s biggest brands, including Ford, Dell, Toyota, Coca-Cola, Sony, United Airlines and Hilton. Obviously, he brings experience in spades to GTB when it comes to leading the team in making what matters. In addition to being an inspiring leader, he’s an American Marketing Association Effie award winner and a winner of the Anthony Bucci Award for Excellence in Communication Ethics. He enjoys paying it forward to the next generation of marketing leaders as a guest lecturer at the University of California, Irvine. But David’s biggest accomplishment, he’ll happily tell you, is helping raise two wonderful young ladies.
