Zac Murphy
Senior Digital Content StrategistWashington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction
My career began by developing content engagement strategies for English First, a global corporation with an online language learning product. This experience was my film school, and I learned how to pull people into a good story to build meaningful connections. I worked globally for over a decade in brand journalism with companies like Siemens, Disney, and Procter & Gamble. My narrative films have premiered at the Hong Kong Film Festival, Antwerp Museum of Cinematography, Worldfest Houston Film Festival, and Idyllwild Festival of Cinema in California. I am currently focused on storytelling for public service in Washington state. I like to think that stories are built in today’s digital world. I see myself as a story architect creating authentic narrative threads that reveal meaningful insights into subjects that positively impact our communities.
Zac received his Master of Communication in Digital Media from the University of Washington and a B.S. in Industrial Design from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA.
