Marcus Murphy

Client Director

Marcus is NOHA’s Client Services Director. Trained as a Graphic Designer and creative, Marcus worked on a number of FMCG, food and drink accounts including Bulmers Cider, Unilever, United Distillers, Cutty Sark Whisky, Craft, Walls and Elida Gibbs. Following a strong desire to get closer to the client and the brief, Marcus spent increasingly more time with clients directly the better to understand their needs, desires and expectations. Prior to joining NOHA in 2008 Marcus was a partner in Holly Benson Communications for 10 years, a business that was sold to Real Affinity PLC in 2006.

The internal workings and management of these businesses meant less and less time with clients and the move to NOHA and a ‘no nonsense’ agenda means Marcus is working where he is best, working directly with clients and solving communications problems.

When he left his last blue chip London agency, he was responsible for 22 of 
the 24 awards on the reception wall.

Malibu, NatWest, Rolls-Royce, Saab, Sainsburys, Toyota, Toshiba. Xerox, 
Yoghurt and Zentis.

There is a life outside the wonderful the world of advertising which centres around his family, an interest in all sports, an appreciation for music (listening not playing) and
the occasional beer or two...
honest doctor.

The odd time Del does have to himself he can be found sitting at his 
piano, relaxing in the garden or playing the occasional game of golf with 
his colleagues.
