By Bri Landry Texas is fifth worst in voter turnout. In 2016 only 55.4% of Texas voted in the Presidential Election. Midterm elections are known for being worse bringing out as little as 35% of the voters to the polls. There are lots of reasons why. People think that their vote won't count, they moved and forgot to register, or people just don't know where to start. So here is the information you need to know for...
Employees live for team building trips. An opportunity to get out of the office for a time, breathe the fresh air, look at something other than a computer screen, have some fun with your co-workers . . . Team-building trips are appealing on so many levels, and many companies with big budgets treat their employees to anything from nice dinners, to company retreats. If you’re a startup in Austin, you probably can’t afford anything that glamorous....
School’s out, temperatures are skyrocketing, and 4th of July has come and gone. It is officially summertime in Austin - which means your mood, your productivity, and your business will be going through some changes. If you’re aware of the potential changes ahead of time, you can make the necessary adjustments to avoid any lags that might affect your business. Here are a few that can apply to those that work in offices: Longer and...
The phrase “working remotely” has been tossed around, chewed up, and spat out a little too frequently in the modern workforce. This is really the first generation that considers working remotely a right and not a perk of the job, but along with that expectation has come a lot of different versions of what working remotely looks like. As someone who was homeschooled, took a lot of online college classes, and now work at a company...
Business owners have to be aware of one important thing: what goes online, stays online. In an era where people are increasingly concerned with online privacy, the internet continues to get smaller, and information travels faster. Unfortunately, running a business isn't always smooth sailing. Eventually, at some point, mistakes happen and people get angry or disappointed. It's common knowledge that people are more inclined to post reviews or share experiences when they've had a negative experience rather...
Here at Motoza, we support our small and local Austin businesses. One of our all-time favorites is The Alamo Drafthouse. We have long been patrons of the theater and we’re big fans of the food, the service, and the dedication they have to film. As a marketing agency, we recognize that they have established a brand for themselves and they have really stuck to it. They are always looking for fun and new ways to experience...
I may have just moved to Austin in December (and I may have spent half of that month out of town for the holidays) but I am a native Texan that knows the ins and outs of my capital city. (Probably because I was one of those people that took the Segway tour of the city. But it was only one time! Forgive me.) I’ve learned a few things about the city over the years and I...
Over this past December, my family and I went to Dubai, one of the most beautiful and captivating cities I’ve had the pleasure of visiting. Home to the tallest building, awesome desert safaris, and the largest water cannon show in the world; it’s definitely safe to say I was looking forward to this trip. But let’s face it -- going on vacation and expecting life to mind its own business for once is a bit idealistic. You...
I’m fairly new to the Motoza family, but even after only three months here it really does already feel like a family. In fact, Motoza made the transition working here so easy it already felt like a little work family by day three. It’s important for offices to create a comfortable working environment for all of it’s workers but it’s especially important for the new workers to feel welcome early on. I want to explain how...
This title of this post could just as easily be read “Blasphemous Wench Seeks to Corrupt the Church” – because that is entirely the attitude surrounding all things burger. Each person has assembled their own altar to the most supreme burger in all the land, and anyone who seeks to tear down this foundation…well that my friends, is how the Crusades started. The idea of a perfect burger is so ingrained in the very fabric of the...
