PITTSBURGH – OCTOBER 26, 2011 - República, a cross-cultural advertising, branding, promotions, digital and communications agency based in Miami, Fla., recently joined the ranks of the MAGNET Global independent agency network.

República, a minority-owned company, is one of the fastest-growing agencies in the U.S., with expertise across industries that includes food service, grocery, retail, spirits, health care, media, telecommunications, nonprofit, education and electronics.

“On the cusp of our fifth anniversary, the timing is ideal for República to join MAGNET, the most respected independent agency network in the world,” said Jorge A. Plasencia, chairman and CEO of República. “Our successes are tied directly to those we serve and work with, and we know this affiliation will create new opportunities to better serve our clients as we collaborate with and learn best practices from many of the premier agencies in America and around the globe.”

The expertise of República’s bilingual, bicultural staff lends tremendous insight to the growing MAGNET Global network, according to Cheri Gmiter, MAGNET’s executive director. “It’s obvious why they continue to be touchstones for clients seeking to understand how to connect successfully with the country’s expanding multicultural majority.”
