Hello, I’m Greg Lin-Murphy
I lead social media strategy and influencer marketing at Tripadvisor Group.
A marketing leader and social media expert with 15 years of experience, across the advertising, media, travel and tech industries, I’ve previously held positions at Modernista! and Arnold Worldwide, in both agencies first-ever social media capabilities, led Boston Globe Media’s Travel, Auto, and Real Estate verticals for Boston.com, and most recently at Tripadvisor Group, I lead social media strategy and influencer marketing across the Tripadvisor and Viator brands.
Project Highlights
Reinventing Tripadvisor’s social media Strategy
In late 2024, I spearheaded a reimagining of Tripadvisor's social media strategy.
We challenged assumptions of our brand's voice and the status quo of the travel industry's approach to social marketing.
In February of 2025 we had our first industry headlines covering our work.
By October we had won Gold at The Drum Awards for social media strategy in the travel and tourism industry.

Driving impact across the full funnel
In 2025, the responsibilities of my team at Tripadvisor expanded to include paid social creative and influencer marketing strategy.
Through the creative application of our social media strategy, we developed campaign-leading creative; social delivered consideration lift nearly double our campaign benchmark.
When exposed to the full funnel, ad performance greatly improved, with CVR improving by more than fifty percent with double-digit CTR improvements.

Building innovative, collaborative teams
I believe creating and nurturing environments where novel, unexpected ideas can thrive is key to my work, and is something I am passionate about.
An example of this is #currents, a cross-functional, writer's room-style Slack channel where teams can share, without judgement, out-of-the-box ideas and opportunities.
This environment allowed us to capture the hearts of BTS fans and generate headlines for Tripadvisor's rebrand.

Creating at the speed of culture
Guided by our strategic framework and enabled by a collaborative, social-first culture, my team has been able to repeatedly bring Tripadvisor into cultural moments before they peak.
This has included being the first brand to partner with rising social sensations The Welsh 5 and @dinewithkent, and being the driving force behind hit TikTok show, "The Group Chat," going to Costa Rica.
-

Automation and brand safety
Utilizing AI-powered tools, I developed a moderation workflow that allowed our team to protect our community and brand from inappropriate and fraudulent comments at scale across tens of millions of ad impressions each month.
In 2025, this workflow reviewed nearly three hundred thousand cases, flagging tens of thousands of questionable comments and auto-moderating hundreds of high risk code of conduct violations, protecting our community, brand, and partners.
