The Cultural Connections Agency

Senior Manager, Entertainment PR (US Hispanic)

Location: Remote (LA, MIA, ATL or NYC preferred)

Our Mission.

Our mission is to unlock the business value and cultural impact of historically underestimated audiences.

What is WORTHI?

WORTHI is a full-service cultural connections agency, where we grow brands and build IP by harnessing the massive influence, buying power and sheer size of underestimated audiences. 

Our Unique Approach

At WORTHI, we implement an ethnographic marketing approach into everything we do. Ethnography is the study of people and cultures, and we steep ourselves in the behaviors and desires of specific communities, and create the cultural relevance between their unique needs, and a brand’s unique story, to create a lasting bond.​ Why? Because these audiences influence and define broader culture and offer inarguable and extensive bottom line value to brands, and ultimately, their business longevity depends on their adoption… This is growth marketing. Full stop.
