  • If you want to control "Contacts", you'll need to create the validation rule in the Contact Object. Furthermore, this will control creation and edits, but it won't control deletions. (And don't forget to add the System Administrator in case you want them to be able to do so)

As mentioned on the comments, you'll need to control that on Contact level. Something like the code below should be ok

AND(
    $Profile.Name != 'Marketing',
    ISPICKVAL(Account.Assigned_Status__c, 'Press')
)

Keep in mind that as I said on the comments, this will prevent anyone from creating / editing Contacts with that status, but it will not prevent someone to delete them.

Also consider if you want to add the System Administration as exception (besides Marketing)
