STRATEGY & CULTURE
She is committed to helping leaders, productions, creatives and organizations train their teams, innovate, build more strategically, facilitate meaningful partnerships and craft intentional, resonant narratives and community events that successfully navigate today's complex landscape and create tangible change — no matter their resources.

CREATIVE STORYTELLING
A writer, producer, director, speaker, facilitator and more, Garima is a creative in her own right. Her Substack — It Actually Is That Deep — weaves together psychology, cultural analysis and personal essay to explore our internal and external worlds.
As an independent advisor, she partners with leaders and creatives on strategy, narrative frameworks, audience communication and engagement, programming and events, and script and story development.
Her impact spans industries — from entertainment studios to political campaigns, foundations and nonprofits to start-ups, creatives and small businesses.As Chief Digital Officer for Stacey Abrams' 2022 campaign, she built, scaled and led a digital operation that raised $38 million and ran a $12 million digital-first persuasion and mobilization program. She established the digital program for Dr. Jill Biden's FLOTUS office and served as a digital strategist on the Biden-Harris 2020 campaign. With Align Social Impact, Garima helped build the Virgil Abloh Foundation, harnessing the power of creativity to shift culture and support the next generation of creative changemakers.
Garima’s unique lens blends entertainment — working on projects like Mission: Impossible – Fallout, black-ish, and The Oscars — with a deep commitment to impact. This intersection allows her to craft culturally resonant, strategic campaigns and meaningful stories that shift attitudes and inspire tangible change.
