Luxury lifestyle, travel and real estate brands have relied on Murphy O'Brien for nearly 35 years, and today the PR and digital agency counts clients of two decades-plus. For example, this year the team drove awareness of several new locations for longtime client Auberge Resorts Collection. In keeping up with the ever-evolving media landscape, the agency recently expanded their social media capabilities and influencer offering to include community management. The team has also prioritized partnerships, creative programming, and tastemaker activations, like the buzzed-about collaboration between fashion sourcing guru Gab Waller and The Peninsula Hotel, Beverly Hills (the agency represents the brand’s global portfolio). With the post-pandemic jump in travel demand, Murphy O'Brien bolstered their vacation rental client portfolio, which continues to thrive today.
