Hi, My Name is Tom Murphy, IV

Learn about TMIV’s history behind each of his services:

What Makes Me Unique

I often say my Unique Selling Value is my versatility. I’m a Graphic Designer that can create websites and a web developer that can market. I can produce audio and video. I also offer business consultation to help set budgets and goals.

My associates might say my unique ability is my determination to make things happen. I tend to set big goals. Setting big goals also sets big milestones. Making the smallest wins special!

What Makes Me A Good Leader?

What makes me a great leader is my natural personality. I believe in integrity, honesty, accountability and patience. I lead by example!

When leading others I like to know their strengths, goals and weaknesses. This lets me allow them to shine in their key roles.

What Makes Me A Good Teammate?

I am extremely helpful and give credit to everyone involved. It’s a team effort and making everyone feel appreciated helps us all want to do more.

My experience and knowledge is helpful when I am working in large projects or groups. Often extending a helping hand where it’s needed. I’ll take on tasks that others might not enjoy or know how to do. Doing these tedious tasks is one of the things that helps enhance my skillsets.

EARLY Life
& ADULTHOOD

Before I had a clue, I had a clue

Hip-Hop Artists DIBS and QB of Lancaster, PA

I always knew that I wanted to pursue a creative career. Most kids are creative, but I took as much action as I could. In my young years I started creating and editing videos on VHS, writing music and performing in front of my classmates. One word that describes me best is, versatile.

My first real entrepreneurial and creative journey came through the music and entertainment world. This was a 5-6 year stint from 2010-2016. I created, managed and promoted a local underground “music label.” Really, just a group of talented individuals that needed help learning business and gaining exposure.

We won awards, played sold-out shows, traveled to various states and more! I even created songs with fans and put them on stage to open up for their favorite bands and entertainers.

My group looked up to me as their leader, because of my abilities to draw attention, network, conduct, and manage business.

They enjoyed my creative vision, too. I oversaw most of their projects, eventually learning Audio Engineering and Post-Video Production myself. I Scheduled Events,created Marketing Plans, Funded Merchandise, and performed live-events.

College
 years

Expanding My Knowledge

To take my skills and knowledge to the next level, I would enroll in the International Academy of Design and Technology, later Sanford-Brown College, for their online Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Graphic Design, with a focus on Web Design. These 3-4 years would change everything!

A testament to my joy for a challenge, I was not a designer, illustrator or even a doodler. I chose Graphic Design so I could learn how to do all these things. Likewise, Web Development would be new to me, but I quickly found a place for it in my heart, head, and career plan.

3 years of rigorous studies brought me a ton of knowledge and skills.  I was taught the history of art, design and the impact they have on the world. How to Brand, Market and Advertise in both Print and Web sectors. We also focused on the history of Web Development, learning both early and modern coding languages, how to use CMS platforms like WordPress, Joomla and Drupal, and how to properly perform Search Engine Optimization.

A large chunk of the services I provide today come directly from my the knowledge I gained while earning my BFA degree.

MARKETING SERVICES

Developing A Brand

Soon after college, I made a career switch. I left my full-time construction career to pursue my new goal of being an all-in-one Creative Marketer. I needed to gain real-world experience so that’s what I set out to do.

To supplement my income, I would work for various promotions and marketing companies. Tasks would include direct sales, surveying the public, and telemarketing.

My goal here was to learn how to market in various ways that might not have been taught through my Fine Arts degree.

I focused on things like the 5 main buyer habits, laws of averages, connecting with audiences, cross-selling and overturning. Through these practices, I was able to sharpen my Marketing Skills and found the professional confidence I needed to serve other businesses.

Web Design

& Development

<hello>

My top selling service for TMIV Design is Web Design and Development. This was my minor focus in college, and quickly intrigued the logical side of my brain.

In school, we were taught how to write custom code using HTML, CSS and Javascript. We were then taught WordPress, SEO, and Social Media Management. All of these courses became stepping stones for my career.

My first web projects as a soleproprietor brought immediate challenges. Which later became standard skills. I had to learn more backend knowledge to handle Server-Side Records, APIs, Webhooks, and Automation using Zapier to safely collect, connect and secure sensitive data. Since then I have made websites that can be used for various tasks.

A few website types I have created are:

  • Brochure
  • E-Commerce
  • High-Risk Wholesale Sites
  • Paid Membership
  • Project Management
  • Event/Directories

With the power of AI, APIs, and Plugins we can create, integrate and automate many of your daily business tasks too!

Growing & Learning

What makes me great at what I do is my passion to continuously grow and evolve. Each service I provide shares a personal interest and comes with hands-on experience. I do what I love! I want to see others do what they love too! So, I try to work with each client in a way that we can all see success!

I speak my goals into existence. This helps me find accountablity myself, too. So here are the things I am focused on learning!

GOALS

Design: 3-D Sculpting using Blender and Adobe

Development: Advancement through AI and programming chat bots.

Marketing: Work with local vendors to create better marketing events

Transparency

While I like to do it all, I also know I cannot! Jack of all trades is a master of none, but often times better than a master of one. I can do many things professionally, some things semi-professionally and others I will have to learn. Luckily, I keep a strong network of creatives that can do the things I cannot.

My clients and their projects also provide me with enough variety to keep all my wheels turning. I truly am thankful for that!
