Scaling Your Business w/Rian Lanigan

Why a story always beats a press release

Season 1, Ep. 81

Jack is a media innovator with over 20 years’ experience at the most senior level in the Irish communications industry. He has worked in marketing, journalism, and media relations. He is a former political spokesperson and government advisor, as well as an award-winning corporate PR practitioner.


In 2006, Murray purchased the Irish Media Contacts Directory. Over the last ten years he, and his team, have transformed the business from a traditional book publisher to a dynamic Software as a Service (SaaS) business – MediaHQ.


MediaHQ is now the leading publisher of media intelligence in Ireland and the biggest organiser of media training events. Since 2012 over 3,000 organisations have attended MediaHQ events. Murray is a former winner of the Public Relations Institute of Ireland’s ‘Best Corporate PR Campaign’ for his work with Century Homes.


In 2016, Jack created All Good Tales, after realising that communications was entering a golden age of storytelling, and that those with the best stories succeed. Jack had his eureka moment and made a discovery about how the most successful storytelling organisations operate, and he documented it – The Magic Slice.


He is a native of Ballinasloe, he lives in Harold’s Cross, Dublin with his wife, two daughters and dog called Maxi Lopez.
