We Speak

CREATIVE INTELLIGENCE

Does Your Brand?

CultHealth recognizes that creativity, insights, and technological know-how can’t come from separate agencies, or even separate floors. They must live together, as one unstoppable force.

In 2023, CultHealth joined Indegene. The fusion of Cult creative with Indegene’s unparalleled data, AI and analytics gave birth to the new standard of success: Creative Intelligence (CI).

CI is hardwired into everything we do to ensure your message finds the right audience, at the right time, to deliver an experience as provocative as it is personally meaningful.

THE CULT

We do internships differently

At Cult we believe everyone deserves a seat at the table. So, if you’re looking to spend your summer picking up skinny vanilla lattes, filing papers, or slapping shipping labels on packages, this isn’t the internship for you.

We’re looking for talented individuals who want to be challenged. Who want to develop and build brands through great creative content across the spectrum of advertising media. Creative individuals with swagger and wit, who want to create work that makes others jealous but stay humble as they do.

Little or no background in advertising? It’s all good. You’ve got ideas and experience—that’s what makes great advertising.
