ABOUT NEESH COMMUNICATIONS
NEESHA HOTHI
Founder, Fractional CMO & Cultural Strategist
Neesha Hothi is a communications architect and one of Canada’s leading voices in entertainment brand storytelling and cultural representation. Her leadership spans the entertainment, nonprofit, and consumer sectors, but her deepest purpose lies in creating platforms where South Asian creatives are seen, heard, and celebrated.
With over two decades of experience, Neesha has crafted narratives that build culture, foster community, elevate artists, and amplify underrepresented voices. She earned her expertise in the trenches, working across the Olympics, award shows, brand campaigns, and culture-shifting festivals, before launching Neesh Communications to fill a critical gap in the industry.
By bridging corporate polish with cultural fluency and grassroots credibility, Neesha has built one of Canada’s most trusted agencies for equity-driven communications. Her work shapes the stories behind the country’s most influential festivals and institutions, while opening doors for creatives and leaders historically excluded from mainstream media.
She is a rare hybrid: strategist, spokesperson, publicist, mentor, systems-changer, and cultural catalyst, making her one of the sharpest high-level communications experts in the country. A go-to voice in Canadian media and a trusted champion of campaigns that celebrate cultural pluralism and community power.
She has been instrumental in the scaffolding behind some of British Columbia’s most meaningful cultural wins, and continues to champion representation not as a trend, but as a long-term investment in the fabric of Canadian identity. Her dedication to community is not a side project, it is foundational to her career. She is not just involved in the community; she is actively building its infrastructure.
She leads with vision. She executes with purpose.
