Romina Groot: A Publicist Who Envisions on Impact and Innovation
06/29/2025, New York City, New York // KISS PR Brand Story PressWire //
In today's world where narratives shape reputations and visibility is currency, Romina Groot stands out as a tastemaker whose boutique agency, Groot PR, is redefining how new talents and established brands present their stories. Based In Nashville with roots in Europe, Groot has earned acclaim for her cultural fluency approach and strategic insight gaining measurable results in both U.S and international markets.
Her career showcases a perfect mix of how international insight, entrepreneurial leadership, and strategic storytelling can produce measurable impact across sectors—from entertainment and lifestyle to sports and emerging brands.
A Cross-Continental Beginning
Born in the Netherlands, Romina's creative journey started after earning her degree in Music Business in Manchester and relocating to Los Angeles in 2015 to study Entertainment Marketing at Santa Monica College and Entertainment Business Management at the Los Angeles Film School. She adapted quickly and immersed herself into the fast-paced world of Hollywood publicity. Over these formative years gaining experience in media production and campaign strategy, she understood the value of branding, audience engagement and creative execution and felt as this is her calling.
Her works in LA included contributions to press strategies for emerging artists and large scale music festivals, refining her ability to execute impactful storytelling with measurable outcomes. This early exposure helped her to lay the foundation required for Groot PR later.
Founding of Groot PR
In 2021, Romina launched Groot PR by setting a clear mission: to offer tailor-made publicity services that focuses on depth, integrity and strategic growth. It began in Dallas but soon moved to Nashville - closer to the heart of its entertainment and lifestyle clientele. This marked a turning point for Groot PR, attracting a diverse nature of clients including personalities like Shelby Lynn, Lucas Horne, Kyle Daniel and many other entertainment industry personalities, musicians, athletes, and creative entrepreneurs.
The agency's work spans red carpet campaigns, tours and product launches, long-lead media placements, and brand strategy - helping clients secure global coverage and form a long-term public presence. Under Romina's mentorship initiative, she has shaped emerging creatives and founders, further underlining her commitment to nurturing new voices in the industry.
What Sets Groot PR Apart
Romina's cross-cultural background has always been a strength to communicate across boundaries - both geographic and demographic. This gave her an edge to understand the perspective of the clients and resonate narratives with them. Combined with her earlier experience, this led to her to pave ways for her clients in major outlets, with coverage highlighting authenticity, innovation, and purpose-driven messaging.
More than a publicist, Romina sees herself as just a voice for narratives. She believes in work that values trust, accountability and purpose.
'There's a difference between being seen and being understood,' she said in an interview, which reflected her vision of importance in aligned storytelling when building a sustainable brand.
Her agency's work has helped a lot of underrepresented creatives, guided new businesses to national visibility, and opened doors for clients like Keaton Interiors, Giselle Chusan also known as 'Explore with GG', Nicole V. Logtenberg, Pete Floyd, Charlie Kolean and many other personalities traditionally overlooked by mainstream PR pathways.
Not Just a 'Brand'
Romina Groot continues to explore and change the lead in public relations. She does not give into the hype-driven marketing, instead chooses to focus on consistency, authenticity and results. Her journey – from music and media student in Europe to founder of a US based agency with international reach - reflects not just success, but significance.
As the media landscape evolves, professionals like Groot remind the industry that strategy and authenticity are not mutually exclusive—and that impact, when built on values, resonates far beyond headlines.

Wordle hints today for #1,472: Clues and answer for Monday, June 30
Hey, there! Welcome to the start of another week and, somehow, it's the midway point of 2025. No, we're not quite sure how that happened either. Still, like any other day, there's a fresh round of Wordle upon us. In case you need some help with it, here's our daily Wordle guide with some hints and the answer for Monday's puzzle (#1,472). It may be that you're a Wordle newcomer and you're not completely sure how to play the game. We're here to help with that too. Wordle is a deceptively simple daily word game that first emerged in 2021. There is one five-letter word to deduce every day by process of elimination. The daily word is the same for everyone. Wordle blew up in popularity in late 2021 after creator Josh Wardle made it easy for players to share an emoji-based grid with their friends and followers that detailed how they fared each day. The game's success spurred dozens of clones across a swathe of categories and formats. The New York Times purchased Wordle in early 2022 for an undisclosed sum. The publication said that players collectively played Wordle 5.3 billion times in 2024. So, it's little surprise that Wordle is one of the best online games and puzzles you can play daily. To start playing Wordle, you simply need to enter one five-letter word. The game will tell you how close you are to that day's secret word by highlighting letters that are in the correct position in green. Letters that appear in the word but aren't in the right spot will be highlighted in yellow. If you guess any letters that are not in the secret word, the game will gray those out on the virtual keyboard. However, you can still use those letters in subsequent guesses. You'll only have six guesses to find each day's word, though you still can use grayed-out letters to help narrow things down. It's also worth remembering that letters can appear in the secret word more than once. Wordle is free to play on the NYT's website and apps, as well as on Meta Quest headsets and Discord. The game refreshes at midnight local time. If you log into a New York Times account, you can track your stats, including the all-important win streak. If you have a NYT subscription that includes full access to the publication's games, you don't have to stop after a single round of Wordle. You'll have access to an archive of more than 1,400 previous Wordle games. So if you're a relative newcomer, you'll be able to go back and catch up on previous editions. In addition, paid NYT Games members have access to a tool called the Wordle Bot. This can tell you how well you performed at each day's game. Before today's Wordle hints, here are the answers to recent puzzles that you may have missed: Yesterday's Wordle answer for Sunday, June 29 — WITTY Saturday, June 28 — STUMP Friday, June 27 — PLAIN Thursday, June 26 — OFFER Wednesday, June 25 — COMFY Every day, we'll try to make Wordle a little easier for you. First, we'll offer a hint that describes the meaning of the word or how it might be used in a phrase or sentence. We'll also tell you if there are any double (or even triple) letters in the word. In case you still haven't quite figured it out by that point, we'll then provide the first letter of the word. Those who are still stumped after that can continue on to find out the answer for today's Wordle. This should go without saying, but make sure to scroll slowly. Spoilers are ahead. Here is a hint for today's Wordle answer: _____ 182 of "I Miss You" and "All The Small Things" fame. There are no repeated letters in today's Wordle answer. The first letter of today's Wordle answer is B. This is your final warning before we reveal today's Wordle answer. No take-backs. Don't blame us if you happen to scroll too far and accidentally spoil the game for yourself. What is today's Wordle? Today's Wordle answer is... BLINK Not to worry if you didn't figure out today's Wordle word. If you made it this far down the page, hopefully you at least kept your streak going. And, hey: there's always another game tomorrow.

Movies to stream in July: our expert's 11 must-watch movies new to Netflix, Prime Video, Max and more
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Looking for some new movies to stream in July? Well great news, there are plenty of options across the likes of Netflix, Max, Prime Video and all of the major streaming services this month. With that said, it can be a lot to scroll through, so allow me to offer my humble services in helping you find the new movies on streaming that you are not going to want to miss. The below list of movies are taken from the major streaming services: Apple TV Plus, Disney Plus, Hulu, Max, Netflix, Paramount Plus, Peacock and Prime Video. I'm also specifically picking movies that are new to streaming this month — in this case, these are 11 movies that are landing on one of the major streamers for the first time, or coming back to streaming services after only being available via on-demand. So without further ado, here are my picks for the 11 movies to stream in July. The Amateur slid a little under the radar in movie theaters, but the spy thriller starring Rami Malek did earn a "Fresh" score from critics and an 88% positive rating from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. Those reactions point to this being a movie that likely deserves more of a look when it becomes easier to watch on streaming this month. In the movie, Malek plays a CIA analyst Charlie Heller, whose wife tragically dies in a terrorist attack. He wants to go after those responsible, but when his superiors deny that plan, Charlie goes out on his own using his analytical and technical skills at his disposal to get his revenge. Stream The Amateur on Hulu in the US starting July 17. Streaming plans for The Amateur in the UK are unconfirmed; movie is currently available via on-demand. Let's be honest, nobody likes taking tests. But what if a test decided whether or not you could have children. That's the premise of this sci-fi psychological drama that stars Elizabeth Olsen and Himesh Patel as hopeful parents and Alicia Vikander as person running the assessment and deciding if they get to become parents. The indie movie, which only saw a limited release in movie theaters, is officially "Certified Fresh." Stream The Assessment on Hulu in the US starting July 19; currently streaming on Prime Video in the UK. I had plans to see Billy Joel in concert this September before the Piano Man unfortunately announced that he would need time to recover from a medical condition and the concert was cancelled (bummer, but warranted). That just makes this upcoming HBO documentary about Joel more of a must watch for me (and any fan of his music). A two-parter that will release on Max in back-to-back weeks, Billy Joel: And So It Goes explores the love, loss, and personal struggles that fuel his songwriting, providing never-before-seen performances, home videos, personal photographs and one-on-one interviews. Stream Billy Joel: And So It Goes part 1 on July 18 on Max, with part 2 premiering July 25. There's no info on a UK premiere for Billy Joel: An So It Goes at this time. The language barrier on Netflix may be a thing of the past based on how many foreign language movies have become solid hits on Netflix so far this year. Whether they're watching dubbed versions or subtitles, Netflix subscribers have given movies like Exterritorial (from Germany) and Bad Influence (from Spain) their attention. We could have the next example of that this month in Brick, another German-made movie. Matthias Schweighöfer, the breakout star of Netflix's Army of the Dead, leads this sci-fi, mystery thriller where an entire apartment building becomes encased by a mysterious brick wall, forcing the residents to find a way out. Stream Brick on Netflix worldwide starting July 10. Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story is one of the funniest sports comedies of all time. The battle between Vince Vaughn and his team of misfits and the fantastically over-the-top villain played by Ben Stiller is, as the title suggest a classic underdog story, played out in hilarious fashion. With sports options a bit minimal at the moment, Dodgeball can help fill your competitive drive, while getting you howling. Stream Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story on Hulu in the US starting July 1; currently streaming on Disney Plus in the UK. Another classic sports movie highlights July's streaming options, with Adam Sandler's Happy Gilmore 2 teeing off on Netflix. The sequel to Sandler's golf comedy sees his hot-headed, long-driving character trying to reignite his golf career to help his daughter achieve her dreams. Original cast members Christopher McDonald, Julie Bowen and Ben Stiller, are back, while new to the scene are Sunny Sandler, Margaret Qualley, Bad Bunny, Travis Kelce and a number of real-life golf professionals. Can they all help recreate what made the original Happy Gilmore a fan-favorite? Stream Happy Gilmore 2 on Netflix worldwide starting July 25. In the new action comedy Heads of State, a pair of world leaders have a bit more of a hand in international affairs as John Cena and Idris Elba play the US president and UK prime minister that have to stop a global conspiracy on their own. Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Jack Quaid and Paddy Considine also star in the movie that hopes to bring some summer fun to Prime Video's streaming lineup. Stream Heads of State on Prime Video worldwide starting on July 2. Pick your preference on Mortal Kombat movies, as both the 1995 movie and the 2021 reboot return to Max in July. For, it's the 1995 movie all the way. In a nutshell, both movies involve some of Earth's strongest fighters being tasked with saving the planet from adversaries from an other world looking to the planet over, with its fate to be decided in a series of fights known as Mortal Kombat. The timing is good too, as a sequel to 2021's Mortal Kombat is set to be released later this year. So you can use this opportunity to refamiliarize with the new movie's characters. Stream Mortal Kombat (1995 and 2021) on Max in the US starting July 1. Both Mortal Kombat movies are available on-demand in the UK, with no streaming plans available at this time. It's been a long five-year wait for The Old Guard 2, the sequel to Netflix and Charlize Theron's hit action movie about immortal mercenaries. But that officially ends early in the month, with the added bonus of Theron and company taking on a new villain, played by Kill Bill icon Uma Thurman. This is one of Netflix's answers to the summer blockbuster season, and if it can live up to the first movie it should be a pretty good one. Stream The Old Guard 2 on Netflix worldwide on July 2. Max is adding a number of recent A24 movies to its library this month, including Opus and Death of a Unicorn. But the most intriguing will be On Becoming a Guinea Fowl, an international indie that has a rare 100% "Certified Fresh" score on Rotten Tomatoes. The movie follows a Zambian family whose secrets come out as funeral proceedings for their uncle take place. Interested? Stream On Becoming a Guinea Fowl on Max in the US starting July 4. Streaming plans for On Becoming a Guinea Fowl in the UK are unconfirmed; movie is currently available via on-demand. What I dubbed as the first great movie of the year, Sinners arrives on streaming in July, meaning there is little excuse if you're one of the few people that has not seen this excellent entry from Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler. A blend of horror, action and music, Sinners is expertly made, written and acted, and should play just as well on your TVs at home as it did on the big screen. Stream Sinners on Max in the US starting July 4. Streaming plans for Sinners in the UK are unconfirmed; movie is currently available via on-demand.

Pep Guardiola's Manchester City: The first steps of a rejuvenation
This version of Pep Guardiola has no room for worry. His face growing ever more bronzed from the Boca Raton sun, the Manchester City manager is living by a mantra of freedom and relaxation. Wish to go to Miami after training? Crack on. Barbecue out back with the wives and kids? Fill your boots. Golf, beach, swimming; however City's players want to find joy, Guardiola's laissez-faire approach to their time in the U.S. is keen to accommodate. Advertisement It has been noticeable just how refreshed Guardiola seems, despite having virtually no break between the end of the most turbulent season of his managerial career and this Club World Cup starting. Eulogising over South American fan culture, delivering an impromptu birthday message to Michel Platini, fawning over Matheus Nunes' conversion to right-back so passionately he may as well have been talking about Cafu. Not even concerns that this Club World Cup could jeopardise their Premier League season? 'I try not to think about it, otherwise I would be so anxious,' he said. 'People do their work best when they enjoy.' Guardiola's demeanour is a far cry from winter, at the peak of his team's four-month crisis, when he seemed to wear each and every error across his brow. He looked like a defeated man. Stressed, dejected and, for perhaps the first time in his career, unsure whether he had the answers. It seemed like his decision to sign a new two-year contract in November may have been a misjudgment, that his ability to keep refreshing and motivating had finally succumbed to human vulnerability. Yet, here he rocked up in the U.S., a man completely rejuvenated. Then, on Thursday his team transformed, too, hammering Juventus 5-2 with a performance so confident and slick, it was as if that crisis never happened. For 17 years as a manager, Guardiola has continually posed new questions of the sport but after unparalleled dominance in the Premier League and the toughest period of his career, finding the energy and inspiration to conjure up a new vision of what his City team, perhaps in his final act as manager, must surely have been more testing. 'When you win something, it is over and you start again. When you lose, it is the same,' he said. 'We made a good level (at the end) and qualified for the Champions League. The club brings in three new players, everything is new, so let's go. Advertisement 'I try to understand the players a bit better, improve yourself. Don't think too much about tomorrow and the future, and we will see. 'The main target is to not tell the players but (for them) to visualise the way we play in training sessions. They feel this is what we want and the path where we can be competitive.' Two years ago, Guardiola claimed that the reinvention of this City team was not always part of a grandmaster desire to push the boundaries. 'It's because otherwise, I get bored,' he said. 'Always doing the same thing for eight years would be very boring. That's the first thing. And secondly, when you do something and it goes well, they watch you and create an antidote. If you go too inside, they close in. If we open up the field too much, they'll open it up more. 'Anything we do and they respond to us. We have to respond again. The third reason is the players we have; what specific qualities they have and when they adapt best to the way you want to play.' Guardiola recognises that the Premier League is becoming increasingly athletic, with more and more teams adopting man-to-man pressing. He is adapting his team accordingly and that was evidenced against Juventus on Thursday. The main themes were forward runs, direct passes into the striker and an in-possession formation that shapeshifts so often, it feels pointless to lay out a starting XI in any specific order. Guardiola has always traditionally asked for his two wingers to provide the width for the team but that started to change at times last season, with the full-backs hugging the touchline. It looks like there is going to be constant variation of that on both sides, with Rayan Ait-Nouri at left-back. The Algerian inverted into midfield in the third minute of the game, with Jeremy Doku holding width on the left and right-back Matheus Nunes high and wide on the opposite flank, with Savinho tucked inside. A few minutes later, City were in a variation of a 2-3-5 build-up, with Ait-Nouri the furthest forward player and Doku and Savinho playing as two No 10s behind Omar Marmoush, as was their starting position for most of the first half. Within these changes of shape, one overarching principle that was back with a vengeance was the presence of runners in behind the Juventus defence. Last season, there was not enough of it — perhaps partly due to City's defensive struggles in transition making them wary of overcommitting too many men, but it made them easier to contain. There were constant attempts to stretch the Juventus back line, whether it was isolating Marmoush to run into the channel when Ederson has the ball, or Savinho going beyond Marmoush… …or Tijjani Rejnders and Bernardo Silva breaking from midfield. Rejnders excelled against Juventus and this was a key part of his game, with City's second goal coming from a late third-man run that saw Matheus Nunes's cross lead to a Pierre Kalulu goal. The Dutch international has added running power to a midfield that was lacking legs but often, City will come up against a low block, which is a challenge he is confident these runs and dribbles can overcome. 'The spaces are very small, so you have to be very secure in those situations and patient,' said Reijnders. Advertisement 'With the qualities we have with the wingers and the midfielders, we can always outplay a player. Those are things we have to use if we are playing teams who drop like this.' City consistently played directly into Marmoush's feet when under pressure with the running of Reijnders right across the midfield proving key to breaking the man-to-man press as he was able to escape his marker and offer an option to create a transition opportunity. Rodri, who made his first start in nine months, says he believes City are 'showing that this team has another face' after making changes to improve on what went wrong last season. 'We are trying to find out the best way this team works, trying to fix the new signings and find what is the best way of playing,' said the Spanish midfielder. 'In two weeks, you cannot guess anything. We are testing and I think this tournament is an incredible opportunity to compete, but also show what we are going to show next season.'
