AI-First. Experience-Driven.
Chris combines hands-on business judgment with modern AI tools to simplify marketing, improve decisions, and focus every campaign on leads, sales, and real outcomes.
A Builder’s Perspective
His career began as a Certified Master Toyota Mechanic and Sales Executive. That early experience taught him that the right tools only create value when an experienced person knows how to use them.
Strategy That Connects
MurphyLinks provides founder-led strategy while Lauer Media adds a specialist digital team and outreach call-center capabilities. Together, the model connects advice, execution, and follow-through.
From Diagnostic Tools to Digital Growth
Chris Murphy’s career has always centered on solving problems, building trust, and helping people make confident decisions. The tools changed from automotive diagnostics to enterprise solutions to AI-powered marketing, but the discipline behind the work never did.
Toyota: Technical Foundation
Chris began at Toyota of Stamford as a Certified Master Mechanic and later worked in sales. That combination of technical expertise and customer communication shaped the practical, diagnostic approach he still brings to business strategy.
Pitney Bowes: Sales & Leadership
Over more than 20 years at Pitney Bowes, Chris worked across major-account sales, solutions consulting, sales management, and product management. As marketing shifted away from mail, he made a deliberate move into the digital world.
AT&T Advertising to YP, DexYP & Thryv
Chris joined AT&T Advertising when it led the category and owned YellowPages.com. After AT&T sold the division, private-equity investment built and rebranded it as YP Marketing Solutions, operating YellowPages.com and YP.com nationally. Competitor DexYP later acquired YP, leading into DexYP and Thryv.
MurphyLinks + Lauer Media
MurphyLinks is Chris’s founder-led consultancy and hands-on marketing laboratory. His work with Lauer Media Company expands that strategy with a full digital marketing team and outreach capabilities. These complementary strengths work toward one goal: business growth.
Founder-Led Customer Strategy
Chris stays close to the customer, clarifies the real business objective, and builds a practical plan around the market, budget, message, and results that matter.
A Full Specialist Team
Lauer Media adds coordinated execution across SEO, Answer Engine Optimization, Google Ads, reputation management, websites, social media, creative, and other digital disciplines.
From Marketing to Revenue
B2B outreach, appointment setting, and follow-up connect marketing visibility to real conversations, qualified opportunities, and measurable sales activity.
Always Ahead of the Curve
From the IBM PC XT era to today’s AI platforms, Chris has consistently worked on the leading edge of practical technology. He has learned the tools, built with them, marketed through them, and helped customers use each new platform to grow.
Hands-On Technical Depth
Chris has built websites himself, performed the SEO work, run advertising campaigns, worked directly with customers, and learned what separates a fashionable tool from one that produces a useful business result.
Specialist to Product Management
At Pitney Bowes, Chris progressed from specialist work into product management, supporting a national sales force around a specific product and translating technical capability into a clear customer value story.
Visibility Across Every Era
Chris has helped companies show up as discovery moved from mail and directories, to YellowPages.com and YP.com, to websites, search, smartphones, and now AI-driven answers. Today that means strong SEO, AEO, reputation, content, and conversion strategy.
