In an age of ambient intelligence, everyone sounds smart.
Few are trusted.
We help leaders define categories and build authority that compounds over time.
Define the market, clarify the problem, and establish the criteria by which solutions are judged.
Develop a point of view that explains where the market is going and why your approach matters.
Use evidence and executive voice to drive adoption of your frame.
Walled City helps leaders define categories, frame markets, and build authority that compounds over time.
Our approach is research-led and audience-first. We combine market insight, strategic narrative, and sustained authority building to help leaders influence how markets understand change.
Walled City was founded by Richard Murphy, whose work spans consulting, journalism, and strategic publishing. In earlier lives he built editorial, research, and narrative platforms at organizations including Fortune, McKinsey, HPE, and ServiceNow.
Walled City works with select companies at moments of market definition, strategic transition, and category creation.
