George Murphy creative portfolio
My creative experience is unique: Defense tech, comedy, and collages.
Almost 2 years down at Palantir. The stuff I make there is a step away from what I'm used to, but I still have pride in my work. Check out some examples below.
> PALANTIR_TECHNOLOGIES // WORK_LOG _
> What I appreciate about Palantir's brand voice is the unapologetic nature of it. They say what they mean. And they mean it.
> Basically my job is to push our voice as far from Accenture, AWS, and McKinsey as possible. I enjoy dunking on stupid corporations.
// Billboard Campaign
> wrote copy and concepts for palantir brand billboards. directive: find the PLTR point of view. no tech jargon. make something that respects the reader.
// Poster Design — Army v Navy Game
> I think this is pretty cool. I led design and copy for this one. It was in a pamphlet given to guests at the Army v Navy game.
// Palantir Recruitment Booklet
> DOWNLOAD: Palantir_Commercial_Careers_Booklet.pdf> Recruiting wanted a booklet to hand to potential hires — I led the copy and directed design on this one.
// The Republic Journal
> I do art direction for The Republic, Palantir's international affairs journal — both the online publication and their print issue.

comedy stuff
I love comedy so much. I especially enjoy improv comedy. You can learn so much about life, others, listening, ego, and your deeply held perspectives by doing improv comedy in front of people that you don't know.
Two Chairs Theatre Company
co-founded a theater company in chicago. chicago reader called it best new theater company in 2023. fun times.
Second City Writer/Performer
i trained, wrote and performed at Second City in Chicago. the discipline of being funny under a constraint is the same discipline as writing good copy under a brief.
Radio DePaul — General Manager
ran a college radio station. wrote programming, managed people, and won the Intercollegiate Broadcasting Award for best comedy program in 2023. it's an IBS award lol.
