Reni Aldrich began working as an entry level admin in our Oklahoma City office in 1985 but was quickly dubbed a “profit center” in our office for her ability to single-handedly take on the roles and responsibilities of a ten-person team. On top of her administrative duties, she ran the agency’s traffic operations, managed client relationships and even dabbled in studio. Then in 1993, a call came from our Dallas office. We were developing a new operation system for the agency and needed a structured, organized person to help our multiple markets and offices come together as one. More specifically, we needed Reni. This was the very beginning of what is now known as our Maccom team and we will forever be indebted to Reni for her leadership in spearheading this essential piece of our business structure. Over the years, Reni continued to lead our agency to new heights, leaving a lasting mark on whatever piece of business she touched. This includes developing our very first spot log and reporting grid that to this day is considered our broadcast traffic team’s bible. A true Renaissance woman, she has forever shaped who we are as an agency today. As Women’s History Month comes to a close, we wanted to take the time to honor this amazing woman for her contributions, leadership and dedication these past 30 years. Our agency would not have been the same without you and for that, we thank you. Congratulations Reni!

Our biggest asset is our employees. They are the heart and soul of our family of companies, and each month we like to recognize those who have gone above and beyond the call of duty. However, we’ve decided to switch things up a bit. We’ve realized that we need to do more for the individuals who consistently exceed our expectations and over-deliver time and time again for our clients. Moving forward, each of our Morochian of the Month employees will be entered in to win a chance at the end of the year to go on an all-expense-paid, week–long trip for two to an exotic destination. While one might be considered the lucky winner in the end, we’re truly the lucky ones as our business would not be what it is today without these very special employees! So please join us in congratulating the following nine Morochians of the Month for March and good luck to each of you in the drawing later this year!

Traditionally, a fifth anniversary is celebrated with a gift of silverware or wood. But at Moroch, we celebrate our fifth year Morochians with caricatures. This year we celebrated 21 very special fifth anniversaries. Why caricatures? Our answer: why not? While some may have a love/hate relationship with their caricature, we adore these fifth year Morochians and could not thank them enough for their hard work and dedication. Our agency becomes stronger each and every year because of you.

Congratulations to the January Morochians of the Month! These stellar individuals are recognized through the Morochians of the Month program to reward employees who exceed expectations and shine for all of their contributions and efforts. Leticia Taylor Senior Project Manager, Dallas Leticia doesn’t just highlight problems, she provides solutions. She’s been integral in the integration of LimeGreen and Moroch through training, and providing creative solutions when current processes don’t work. Leticia is always determined to find the right path to ensure we succeed and never gives up. She goes beyond her role/job description of project manager by managing budgets, highlighting opportunities for efficiency and creating new ways to approach impasses between us and challenging clients. Leticia will work on whatever needs to be done, regardless if it’s technically supposed to be on her plate or not. She does this all with a smile on her face and cracks jokes along the way. We’re lucky to have Leticia on our team are proud to congratulate her as Morochian of the Month! Sally Soames Accounting Manager, Dallas Over the past couple of months, with the accounting team being short staffed, Sally has stepped up and worn several hats. Sally has gone to extra mile to make sure our agency is on top of all our accounts receivable and payable. On top of this, Sally has keep control of all of her other responsibilities and is an accounting go-to for our all of our agency’s disciplines. We’re thankful that Sally exceeded expectations wrapping up 2015 and are thrilled to name her as one of our January Morochians of the Month! Hayley Pugel Communications Coordinator, Lexington For over a year now, Hayley Pugel, our Lexington PR lead, has combined Southern class with rock-solid PR savvy. Hayley is always the first to join a brainstorming call, give shout-outs to team members, and step in when any member of her team needs help. Hayley recently learned that she’d be stepping into a larger leadership role in her market and stayed extremely calm, quickly making adjustments to make sure her clients, plans and roles were updated. She exhibited confidence, exceeding expectations at her planning meeting, and talked about the solutions rather than the problems the change would bring. We’re so excited to see her expand her leadership in 2016, as she discovers and shares more awesome ideas! Ashley Quimby Account Coordinator, Oklahoma City Ashley has exceeded all expectations by becoming the go-to person on the OKC account service team.  Ashley has taken every opportunity to listen and learn. Whether it’s business insights charts, tactical recommendations, dealing with the clients or leading conversations with co-op Presidents, Ashley has taken ownership of learning these new things and broadening her skillset! Over the last several months, Moroch has received calls from a Co-op President complimenting Ashley on her performance, resourcefulness, and communication skills. We couldn’t agree more with what the client shared!  We’re happy to give a big thank you to Ashley for her dedication!

Congratulations to the November Morochians of the Month! These stellar individuals are recognized through the Morochians of the Month program to reward employees who exceed expectations and shine for all of their contributions and efforts.   Kristin Smith Client Relations Specialist, Dallas Leading an integration effort is hard work – merging two different agencies, processes, personalities into the new LimeGreen Moroch over the past four months has required an endless stream of meetings, late nights, and coordinated efforts. As we’ve come across many obstacles, Kristin has always been able to talk about solutions and has taken full ownership of launching this new entity.  From ensuring the transition from limegreen.net to lgmoroch.com took place flawlessly, to announcing the new entity at NBMOA, to creating and helping manage the trinkets we’ve given to owners, to managing the endless list of accounting needs, Kristin has been relentless in attacking every problem that comes up and is always looking for ways to make every process better.  Although the integration is far from complete, we want to recognize her determination to do what’s right and not give up!   Kristen Hamilton Senior Media Planner, Dallas Over the past several months, Kristen has consistently made significant contributions that not only impact the overall product her team puts in front of the client, but also the behind the scenes pieces that make our internal workflow planning much more streamlined. To start, Kristen has been an integral part of our new buying/billing platform team, involved in intense training/work sessions, set up and testing.  Additionally, Kristen has spent many hours over the last several months creating a tool that is instrumental to streamlining her team’s workflow and reducing potential errors. Throughout this entire process she questioned why and thought through each step to make sure we were setting everything up to be smarter and more efficient. On top of this, Kristen has gone above and beyond in delivering her normal planning duties, managing seven high profile markets across four regions. She continues to raise the bar to exciting levels and is truly a pleasure to work with!   Bethany Wilcox Senior Account Executive, Denver Since Bethany joined the Denver team a little over six months ago, she has been a total rock star.  From her first meeting, she’s been wowing our clients with her personality, knowledge, and dedication to their business. She cares about our clients and takes time to truly get to know about their lives and connect with them on a personal level. Bethany recently assumed the role as the team’s tech guru, providing clients with new reputation management tools and helping them understand the functions and benefits. She’s also found ways to make client meetings more fun, incorporating polling tools and “word bubbles” into planning meetings. Bethany does a wonderful job of keeping us all entertained with her hilarious anecdotes and sense of humor, reminding us all that even in the craziness we all have to take time to enjoy yourself. She exemplifies Moroch’s principles day in and day out and truly deserves this recognition as Morochian of the Month!   Lana Avila Account Supervisor, Sacramento Even though Lana is an Account Supervisor, over the past three months with one team member down, Lana took ownership and stepped into the Account Executive Role. During this time she continued to train the Account Service staff about Moroch, the business and putting our team in the best position to grow. Although Lana was taking on an extra role during this time, she was still able to exceed expectations with her training and in turn, two of her team members were promoted. On top of all of this, with Lana’s leadership, the Sacramento team just completed the initial round of client planning meetings for four Co-ops. For the past nine years, we’ve been honored to have Lana as a member of our Moroch family. This month, we’re honored to congratulate Lana for her efforts and for this much deserved Morochian of the Month recognition!
