WHAT IS WORTHI? 

WORTHI is a full-service ethnographic marketing, communications and content agency with a mission to  unlock the business value and cultural impact of historically underestimated communities for our client partners.

What is ethnography? Ethnography is the study and systematic recording of the customs of individual peoples and cultures – and at WORTHI – we steep ourselves in the behaviors of various communities, and create the cultural relevance between their unique needs, and a brand’s unique story, to create a lasting bond.​

THE JOB. 

The Senior Director will report into the VP, Comms & Publicity, and lead the entertainment division of our Publicity organization, bringing a high level of strategy and experience to the team. They will be an innovative thinker and disruptor who has the ability to guide clients, internal teams and creative partners toward solutions resulting in impactful earned results. An understanding of the role influencers and other key opinion leaders play in the PR space is critical, as is having an informed POV on the ever-changing media landscape.

We believe that experience is measured in the things you’ve done, the risks you’ve taken, and the perspectives you’ve cultivated and place more value in that vs. number of years worked. But, generally looking for a candidate with at least 8-9 years of in-house or agency experience in entertainment, with an emphasis on all major multicultural audiences (Black, Latine, AAPI, LGBTQ+). The candidate will be instrumental in expanding and fostering our growing roster of clients and oversee the wider team and departmental workstream inclusive of: account management, team development, day to day tactics, media relations and overall campaign execution on our publicity team.

This person must be forward thinking with exceptional verbal and written communication, having the ability to articulate a strong POV and inspire clarity and confidence to align stakeholders both internally and externally. We’re looking for an executive who is proficient at delegation, organization and prioritizing tasks among themselves and their team. There must be a willingness to get one's “hands dirty” and a natural passion and deep understanding of PR as a whole. This person will be a self-motivated team player who will be reliable, resourceful, open to growth, accountable and will operate with an open, “can do'' and strategic mindset.

You’re entrepreneurial and eager to grow, learn, and inspire others. Someone who can both navigate ambiguity and also thrive in it. Every day here is different, and the business is constantly evolving, so we want someone truly energized by that. 

THE TEAM.

The Comms & Publicity team partners deeply with our roster of clients to provide them with innovative and impactful strategies to create narratives and/or shift perceptions around their brands, products, services or IP through earned media. The earned media landscape is constantly shifting. Less outlets, shrinking staff, more paywalls, and a constantly unpredictable cultural ecosystem. Because of that, this is a team of curious, adaptable innovators who constantly evolve and shape their strategies to maximize impact in an ever-changing environment. We're a hybrid of consumer PR professionals, entertainment publicists, and talent relations specialists who know how to flex between all three to benefit our clients. We provide an unmatched level of partnership to our clients, and seek to be fully ingrained in their business challenges so we can provide the most effective solutions, sage counsel, and candid guidance.
