When asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, a young Brian Murphy had it all figured out.
“I was going to go to Florida State University, I was going to major in accounting and I was going to be in business,” Murphy says as he laughs earnestly. “My view of business was what I saw in the movies. The concept of business was a big building and a briefcase. and it was so different than anything elseI saw around me at the time.”

Tell us about your role and journey into technology. How did you start NewsCred?
I spend most of my time managing the strategic growth of the company and learning from our customers about how our platform can help marketing organizations work better together to increase their performance.
