Hey, I’m Jagreet! 👋🏾
I’m a digital marketer and arts administrator with 15 years of experience. I started by managing the volunteer programme for racialised youth at the Vancouver International Bhangra Celebration, eventually becoming head of operations. My work focused on community partnerships, policymaking, audience research, and programme development.
In 2019, alongside Roohi Sahajpal, I launched the idea of Himmat Media with our inaugural exhibit, "Himmat: Celebrating the Women Around Us", empowering women while managing a local music festival and studying Criminology at SFU. This sparked my passion for exploring crime's intersection with race, substance abuse, immigration, and trauma, which eventually led to my understanding and development of super culture (defined as a collection of sub/cultures that connect together through similarities) with the goals of nurturing and actualising (comm)unity.
Guided by Carla Chambers, Anita Lal and Jacky A. Yenga in the craft of arts administration and cultural heritage preservation, I have led disruptive festivals and cultural campaigns, achieving international status for various projects. Today, Himmat Media thrives as a creative agency, think tank and incubator, collaborating with over 75 clients, from startups to nonprofits to small to large businesses, in branding, messaging, community engagement and partnerships, event management, music marketing, and more. We focus on impactful, intersectional messaging, youth culture, and anti-racism, crafting bold, practical solutions with a powerful voice. I look forward to getting to know you and helping you cement your brand’s vision.
Please note
I am closing Client intake from September 15th, 2024 until June 1st, 2025.
