Law Firm Marketing Professional Joins Rain BDM as Consultant

Deborah Murphy has joined the Rain BDM team as a consultant based in Kansas City, Missouri.

“Deborah is a terrific asset to our growing team,” said Rain BDM President and Founder John Reed. “Our focus consistently remains on client satisfaction, and Deborah’s knowledge of leading-edge marketing strategy, client development and business acumen are a testament to that commitment. We are excited to have her on board.”

During a nearly 20 year career, Murphy has motivated internal and external clients to elevate their brands on regional and national stages. She collaborates with lawyers and law firm leadership on business development planning and execution, content creation and distribution, and personal marketing and relationship building. She is laser-focused on establishing reasonable expectations, crafting realistic strategies and achieving measurable results.

Before joining Rain BDM, Murphy led an Am Law 100 marketing department that helped her firm capture a spot on the BTI Brand Elite, which recognizes law firms at the highest echelons of client experience, innovation and marketing success. During her tenure with that firm, she reinvented the marketing team by hiring and managing exceptionally talented people and instituting comprehensive best practices, process management workflows and scalable programs. Murphy and her team supported business development efforts that contributed to an unprecedented 50 percent growth over a five-year period, impacting the firm’s transformation from a regional player to a national powerhouse.

Murphy attributes her diligence and pragmatism to her father, a highly-decorated Army veteran, who impressed solid values on her and instilled in her an unwavering work ethic. Murphy’s guiding principles – respect, honor, accountability and integrity – are readily apparent. She is a woman of her word and her work.

Murphy earned her master’s degree in English and her bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Kansas. She is a Certified Professional Services Marketer.
