The CREATEifs Group
FOUNDER & EXECUTIVE CREATEIF DIRECTOR
Hi and thank you for considering working with the CREATEifs Group. After working in broadcasting for more than twenty five years I decided to be closer to home and start my own boutique marketing company with the profound knowledge I have gained in throughout my corporate career.
Prior to forming the CREATEifs Group, I spent over twenty years at News Corporation and concluded my time there by being tapped to help form the cross divisional group known as FOX One as the Vice President of Global Marketing and Integrated Sales.
In the role of Global Marketing & Sales Vice President, I was tasked with pulling together all of News Corporation's 150+ domestic and international assets (FOX, FOX Sports, FX, 20th Film, FOX Searchlight, FOX Digital, HULU, IGN, Wall Street Journal, HarperCollins, BSkyB, FOX LATAM, etc.) for multi-platform sales marketing opportunities. I was was able to play a role in many different entertainment businesses around the globe while honing in on the common ground between them all. I was also selected to be a part of an intimate group of international executives to head up News Corporation's Global Energy initiative. This successful initiative resulted in NewsCorp being one of the first entertainment companies to achieve a 100% carbon neutral status around the world.
Prior to that position, I was the Vice President of Marketing and Integrated Sales at the FOX Entertainment Network. In that job I learned how to market prime-time TV shows with mega brands such as Ford, J&J, Chevrolet, Microsoft, Unilever, Coke and Pepsico. I received industry awards for my work on American Idol (I was part of the initial team that created the show's game changing marketing blueprint), the Simpsons and various other network primetime programming and award shows. I have also spoken at industry events regarding my work in this capacity.
Before joining FOX/NewsCorporation I worked as a market research executive at Chiat Day, CBS Television, Sports Channel and the NY Post.

Elizabeth Murray
Events / Production
I am a producer and director with over 25 years of experience. I love what I do. I started working for Southern Television in the UK and loved every second. I was hooked. I continued working for the BBC and independent production companies in the UK as a freelancer whilst raising my two children. I moved to Texas and was introduced to the world of Corporate Events. When I returned to the UK I began producing and directing videos for global corporate clients including Citi Bank, Deloitte, Novo Nordisk, EMI. I travelled extensively to Africa, South America, China, Japan and all over Europe filming and producing events for my clients. I recently moved to New York and am looking forward to my next CREATEif adventure. |
