How do you make a very special kid’s dream of becoming a zookeeper into something that the whole community can rally around? That was the challenge we faced when the North Texas chapter of Make-a-Wish asked Moroch to help make the granting of their 7,000th wish an event to remember.

I had never been a long distance runner — and if I ran at all, I didn’t last longer than five minutes. So, when I set out on a mission last year to “train” (yes, train, for all you hard-core runners) for the Michelob Ultra Katy Trail 5K, I never thought I’d be able to…

After almost 11 years in what the Atlanta team affectionately called “The Tire Warehouse,” Moroch moved into new office space on Friday, April 27. It doesn’t have a nickname yet, and it might never get one because it is nothing like the old space. Our new home at 590 Means Street has its own Moroch feel with…

Our client, Columbia Pictures, tasked us with putting together a “stunt” for their upcoming film, Men in Black 3, which opens in theaters May 25. We needed to organize a flash mob to dance to Pitbull’s new MIB3 theme song, Back in Time…and we needed all the pieces to fall into place quickly! Pulling off…

Moroch just put the finishing touches on a PSA for the Make-A-Wish Foundation starring Ian Kinsler, second baseman for the Texas Rangers.

PR professionals “spin” the truth and make up stories when it suits our clients’ interests, right? We just spend our days playing on social media and our nights attending fabulous cocktail parties and red carpet events, right? Of all the myths circulating about PR professionals, there is only one that is absolutely, positively, without-a-doubt true:…

It seems like my love of film is hard-coded into my genetics. Spending time at drive-ins and movie theatres was a way our family connected. One of my earliest movie-related memories is of my parents putting my sister and me to bed early, then waking us up and taking us to a theatre in our…

As many of you know, Tuesday, April 3, 2012 was not exactly the greatest day for residents of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Many of us woke up that Tuesday morning and thought “Ehh, severe thunderstorms today… no big deal.” Little did we know that a dozen tornadoes would rip through our communities, destroying thousands of…

On the first Friday of each month it has become tradition for one department in the agency to host a happy hour celebration which we have inventively dubbed “First Friday.” You may remember last month’s The Thirsty Games, which was the brainchild of our Interactive Team. We felt that they really upped the ante with…

Back in October 2010, I attended the Shopper Marketing Expo in Chicago hosted by the In-Store Marketing Institute. Historically, the Expo has featured an impressive list of world-class merchandising and promotion companies. Exhibitors displayed the latest in innovative designs for the in-store retail environment.
