Mike Murphy

Mike Murphy is a storyteller at the forefront of shaping the national conversation around career readiness. As part of Britebound™ (formerly American Student Assistance®), he leads narrative strategy and multi-channel communications that connect business and nonprofit leaders, policymakers, educators, administrators, and families around a shared mission: helping young people make decisions about life after high school and step into the world with confidence.  At Britebound, Mike focuses on translating bold ideas into compelling stories that inspire action. He works to amplify the organization’s voice, build strategic coalitions, and elevate the movement to expand career-focused learning in middle and high school. Through social media and digital platforms, he helps drive awareness, alignment, and momentum around reimagining pathways from education to career.  With a background in marketing and digital strategy, Mike brings a sharp understanding of audience engagement, but his core work is narrative: ensuring that the story of career readiness is clear, urgent, and impossible to ignore.
