Congratulations to the October 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 each month. Holly Rodriguez Project Manager, Dallas Holly has made significant contributions to not just the media team, but Moroch as a whole. In addition to being an important leader by helping move and evolve our team in the ever-changing media landscape, Holly had the opportunity to directly impact the most significant new business pitch the media department has ever had. With Holly positioned as the lead on a media-driven account, the pressure was on for her to learn the business, engage and meet corporate and field marketing teams, develop a 2016 strategy and present over 13 hours of content through 4 client presentations. The client called Holly a rock star, and that was truly what we saw as well. Holly is a team player. She takes ownership, pushes people to be their best, doesn’t quit and is genuinely fun to work with through all of that. We have a lot to be grateful for with Holly on our team!   Fancy Montoya              Print Production, Dallas Fancy consistently goes above and beyond, but this month she pulled the ‘rabbit out of the hat’ for our client. Three days before Labor Day weekend, we got an urgent request from our client to print some coupons, since their own vendor had dropped the ball. This began as some small-sized coupons, approximately 10,000 quantity, but quickly turned into a larger size piece and almost 100,000 pieces.  That means more paper, more press time and printing the day before a long holiday weekend!  Fancy called numerous vendors for hours, trying to find someone who had available paper stock and available press time. She talked about solutions rather than problems.  At times the printers actually laughed at her request, but finally after hours of phone calls, she found a vendor who could pull it off and in turn, Moroch came to the rescue of our client!   Rachel Armstrong Account Coordinator, Milwaukee Rachel has exemplified the Moroch Principle: Take Ownership ever since she joined our team at the beginning of this year. While she is quickly becoming a master at keeping us all in check, she is more than cognizant of approaching/attacking the problem, never the person. Rachel is curious and takes the time to understand the bigger picture of her tasks so that she can execute to a high level, always meeting or exceeding expectations. Rachel has also completely taken over meeting prep and logistics, supporting her team and ensuring everything will go flawlessly the day of, which is an invaluable asset and skill. Rachel is more than deserving of a moment to shine for her dedication to producing great work. Additionally, her passionate attitude spills over to the rest of the team and we all get more passionate because of it. She’s a true Champ!   Jennifer Tracy Account Executive, Norfolk Over the summer, Jenn went above and beyond as our Senior Account Executive in Norfolk. Although Jenn already handles all day to day execution in the Tidewater market, she recently pitched in when our team was short a PR/Communications specialist. Jenn served as the Moroch representative, attending all PR-related events or incidents, in addition to working closely with the PR team to ensure nothing fell through the cracks while we searched for a new team member. Most recently, Jenn put together a comprehensive client campaign plan with very little lead time, organizing all behind the scenes needs to make sure that this launch is the best it can be in our market. We appreciate the passion Jenn has for the business and are lucky to have her on the team!

Congratulations to the September Morochians of the Month! These stellar individuals are recognized through the Morochians of the Month rewards program to reward employees who exceed expectations and shine for all of their contributions and efforts each month.   Leslie Moya Project Manager, Dallas If you were to ask people who work with Leslie how long she’s been at Moroch, very few would guess it’s only been a little over a year. Leslie not only seamlessly integrated into our agency, but has become a Moroch champion to our clients and internal departments.  In the short time she’s been a Morochian, her role/project involvement and relationships with clients has evolved.  She takes on complicated jobs and circumstances daily and has taken ownership and played an integral role in the launching of several unique client projects. Within the last year, Leslie has proven how she has grown and has constantly exceeded our expectations. She is a true leader and such a great asset to the Moroch family.   Lauren Young                Jr. Media Planner, Dallas Lauren has consistently shown that she cannot only handle what is given to her, but is always ready to take on more!  Given the challenge to take on all of the day-to-day responsibilities required on one client account, on top of maintaining her supporting role on others, Lauren has taken ownership of this important job. She has a curious and proactive spirit, always wanting to learn and constantly looking for ways to improve. In fact, because of her “lean forward” attitude, she was nominated to be part of the local 4As campaign competition and her team ended up taking home first place! Lauren will roll up her sleeves to be a part of any task big or small. We’re lucky that she has embraced the Moroch culture and is part of our Moroch family!   Ashley Vigil Account Supervisor, Denver Attitude, native intelligence, curiosity, energy and enthusiasm are qualities that a person ‘just has’ and typically can’t be taught. If someone has the ‘good stuff’, you can teach them almost anything, and they are the kinds of people who would be successful doing almost anything.  Ashley is one of these kinds of people. When Ashley recently met with a client, she discovered that he was having problems that no one else had been able to solve. While the client thought that no one cared enough to help, Ashley cared, took matters into her own hands and solved the problem. Ashley role modeled aspects of Moroch’s definition of leadership by doing the right thing and challenging the existing process. We’re glad she’s chosen Moroch as the as the place to develop her craft and are proud to recognize her as Morochian of the Month.    Lisa Rooks Senior Partner, Oklahoma City This summer, Lisa organized a meeting that was built on Moroch’s six Core Principles—have honest conversations, hold each other accountable, talk about solutions rather than problems, constantly look for ways to improve, do what’s right and never give up and discover and share. Multiple disciplines were brought together at this meeting to have constructive dialogue about our clients’ business that will ultimately lead to better and stronger business solutions. This meeting wouldn’t have happened without her leadership, guidance and desire to take control over something many folks would never want to manage. It’s cumbersome, but it’s also a heavy burden to make a meeting of that magnitude work for as many as possible. Congratulations to Lisa for putting together such a successful week for the team!

Congratulations to the August Morochians of the Month! These stellar individuals are recognized through the Morochians of the Month rewards program to reward employees who exceed expectations and shine for all of their contributions and efforts each month. Casey Heim Production Artist, Dallas Casey has been significant in helping Moroch roll out our agency’s “new look,” which includes working on new meeting room signage, all of our new branding materials, forms, business cards, power point templates, and countless other materials a large agency like ours needs. As you can imagine, is not an easy task. This is all on top of her normal everyday entertainment and studio duties. She always takes ownership of the projects she has been assigned and always tries to find a solution for any problems that may come up before asking anyone for help. Casey makes a significant difference in the studio and we are proud to have her in at Moroch.   Tiffany Hiemeyer         Senior Account Executive, Dallas Tiffany is not afraid to push the envelope and look for new and better ways to solve problems. She works diligently on finding more efficient ways to open and manage production jobs. In addition to her daily work load, she has taken on this special project to find solutions that will save valuable time in the long run. Tiffany also looks at the bigger picture of what is the right way to do things versus just relying on ‘because it’s always been done this way’.  In doing this, she keeps all disciplines and teams in mind to ensure change is beneficial to not just account service, but all areas of the agency.  She has truly taken ownership of this project and will continue to work until all challenges have been identified and resolved.  We appreciate her hard work, determination, and desire to help all of us improve.   Paige DeVriendt Account Coordinator, San Antonio Day in and day out, Paige brings great energy to the Account Service team, our Moroch office, and our clients.  After stealing her from Ohio, Paige has spent the last year absorbing everything she can about McDonald’s Moroch, and Texas!  The last couple of months have really been a testament to her desire to learn and passion for the business, as she started supporting multiple markets, managing jobs and leading our interns.  Paige is a huge team player and is always willing to pitch in to make everyone’s day go smoother.  We all know that if she has taken something on, that she will give 100% and own it to completion. Thank you for a being a significant part of our Moroch San Antonio Team!   Tessa Barton Social Media Specialist/Account Executive, Houston Tessa works in Houston and is embedded with the client 80 percent of the time. Our strategy was to provide a social media service, and while she was there, get a better understanding of how the client worked, their needs and how we can organically grow with the account.  Tessa hit the ground running.  Not only did she quickly win the trust and confidence of the client, she was also able identify both an opportunity to take over their paid Facebook.  She was able to work with the digital team, and paved the way for her teammates to present a Facebook strategy.  This resulted in a Moroch win!  Thanks for doing the right thing, never giving up, servicing the client and helping both the client and agency achieve better results!
