January 2022 - Niles Murphy '06

Niles also served as Risk Manager/Social Chair of his fraternity, Gamma Delta Chi. He spent a good deal of his professional career navigating the PESO Model for experience in media, communication, and marketing and is currently the Director of Government Relations for Cision, a leading global earned media software and services provider, helping to overhaul our current go-to-market strategy for federal government clients.  Niles would encourage anyone interested in media to pursue the style or type of media that interests them the most. Think of the things you’re passionate about, like sports, video games, fashion, arts, technology, healthcare, etc. There are media lanes for every industry where you can create content, sponsorships, legal terms, and programs supporting the things you love. When Niles was in high school and even in college, he thought he'd have to give up his passion for sports and the arts if he didn’t become a professional athlete or entertainer. This career taught him that’s undoubtedly not the case. His interest in the media industry grew while pursuing a minor in film at Dartmouth. Two of his mentors, Rick and Dee Ray, connected Niles with his first internship in the industry at a New York City production studio called Tupelo Honey. Niles spent his sophomore winter in NYC running errands, but got his first taste of the behind-the-scenes life of the media industry. He was lucky to have had the opportunity to help create content at Fashion Week, music videos for Chris Brown and Jordan Sparks, and spring training with the Mets, among other things
