What Moroch does

Moroch is an independent, integrated marketing agency founded in 1981 by Tom Moroch and headquartered in Dallas, Texas, with additional offices in New York, Atlanta, and Columbus. The firm serves regional, national, and multi-location enterprise brands — with a particular specialization in franchise systems, dealer networks, and co-operatives — delivering end-to-end services across six practice areas: Creative, Strategy, Media Planning and Buying, Business Insights, Production (via the in-house Studio 147 facility), and Franchise Services. Its 40+ year relationship with a McDonald's franchise co-operative remains the defining commercial anchor, and other named clients include Planet Fitness, Midas, Methodist Health System, DART, Honda, Samsung, Tenet Health, Chuck E. Cheese, and Energy Transfer.

The agency's technical platform is centered on proprietary tools: M Score (channel scoring), Moroch Media Measurement (marketing mix modeling and attribution), Local Trade Area Mapping, Balanced Broadcast Buying methodology, and the more recent (AI)fficient Analysis and GroundGame (mobility-data targeting). It holds Premier Partner status with Google, Bing, Meta, and Yelp (top 3% of US agencies) and operates Moroch Digital Solutions (MDS) as a dedicated digital media-buying division alongside partner agencies Slyfox, Side Chops, and Next Media within its corporate family.

Moroch's business model is B2B professional services — quote-based project and retainer engagements with enterprise clients — supplemented by co-op/dealer management and franchise-system services. The legal entity is Moroch Holdings, Inc., domiciled in Texas, with no external private equity or venture capital ownership indicated. Revenue grew 8.6% year-over-year in 2025 (one of the largest growth years in its 45-year history), headcount expanded 7%, and the agency entered the Top 20 US media agency ranking.
