The book was included on several best lists. His first, “F*ck Off, Chloe: Surviving the OMGs and FMLs in Your Media Career”  was called “hilarious” by the New York Post while the Daily News raved, “Media mavens will love “F*ck Off, Chloe: Surviving the OMGs and FMLs in your Media Career.” Radar added “(the book is) filled with witty and humorous prose that will no doubt leave you laughing out loud” while named “F*ck Off, Chloe” a must read. The book is currently being developed into a TV series. 

Murphy gained national recognition when he created CBS Television’s glossy print magazine Watch, which redefined the perception of custom publishing. As its editor-in-chief, he built a respected masthead that featured top editorial talents like world-famous photographers Patrick Demarchelier, Ellen von Unwerth, Art Streiber and Ruven Afanodor, as well as fashion authority Kate Betts (former editor of Harper’s Bazaar and Time Design & Style); Time magazine columnist Joel Stein; New York Times contributors Ben Widdicombe, Frank DeCaro and Stuart Elliot; and Allure senior editor Kristin Perrotta as contributors. Working with these creative forces, he infused the magazine’s pages with elegant and timeless features, including recreations of French Impressionist paintings at the celebrated Hotel Plaza Athénée Paris; homages to Christian Dior and Babe Paley; and a cover shoot with actress Julianna Margulies by Demarchelier at the Hotel du Cap in the Côte d’Azur. The strategy successfully transitioned Watch from a publication to a brand encompassing print, television, online, video and social media.  In 2014, Murphy collaborated with celebrated violinist Charlie Siem, who wrote his first composition, “Canopy,” for CBS Television’s Watch magazine, which Murphy had created and edited. He used Siem’s music as a theme song for the magazine’s digital platforms, marketing efforts and sales campaigns, which was hailed by The New York Times as a new model in media: the first print publication to create an original “soundtrack” to transform magazine into a brand. Murphy used Siem’s recording for three years, including campaigns narrated by Julianna Margulies (2016), Michael Weatherly (2015) and Pauley Perrette (2014). The project was a collaboration between the magazine, CBS and Team One, a division of Saatch & Saatchi specializing in luxury marketing.
