Going the Distance for McDonald’s

McDonald's at The Special Olympics

Virginia is for Lovers

RVA

When you work for a company you love, you do crazy things. Like, for instance, signing an offer letter to pick up your entire life and move across the country without ever having visited your final destination. Let’s rewind. I’m Texas-born and bred. The product of Dallas suburbia (Southlake), a four-year stint in Austin at the University of Texas (Hook…

RonaldLilacFestival

As all of you know, Moroch spreads its awesomeness to regions outside of Dallas, Texas. For example (I swear, I’m not biased), Rochester, New York. I’m sure there are some of you who are thinking, “Rochester? It’s cold there.” And guess what, you’re right. We do get some pretty brutal winters. But, that’s what makes…

Lighting the Olympic Torch, Moroch Style

Opening Ceremony

At Moroch, we have all become accustomed to our new 2012 tradition of “First Friday”, during which one agency department hosts a happy hour on the first Friday of the month.

Bringing the Community Together Through Cycling

Racers Cross the Finish Line at the McDonald's Tri-State Criterium

McDonald’s is at the heart of many communities, and Huntington, West Virginia, is no exception.  The first McDonald’s restaurant in the state was built in Huntington in 1964, and the city now boasts six sets of golden arches within its zip codes.  From sponsoring youth sports to the city’s Independence Day fireworks, participating in school…
