Mehak Agarwal

Mehak Agarwal is an award-winning creative and Art Director at The Walt Disney Company, where she leads cross-functional teams in developing high-impact campaigns for luxury travel and niche audiences. Her most notable achievement includes creating a Disney advertising campaign targeting Millennials, which earned prestigious recognition for its creativity and cultural resonance. Known for her ability to merge strategy with storytelling, Mehak’s work consistently delivers campaigns that inspire, engage, and entertain audiences worldwide. She also serves as a board member for Disney’s ANHPI Diversity and Inclusion Group, reflecting her commitment to fostering inclusive and culturally rich creative environments.

Mehak’s career journey began with an initial interest in architecture. She started her studies at the University of Cincinnati and became an active member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority. During college, a transformative experience prompted her to reevaluate her path, leading her to discover a passion for branding and marketing. She pivoted her focus, enrolling at the Savannah College of Art and Design, where she earned her BFA in Advertising and Branding. Following graduation, she gained valuable experience across diverse advertising agencies, working with clients ranging from 1800 Tequila and NBA to Cracker Barrel and Michelin, before joining Disney to create award-winning campaigns that leave a lasting cultural impact.

Outside of her professional endeavors, Mehak is a lover of travel, striving to take at least one international trip each year. She enjoys family time, painting as a continuous creative journey, and engaging in active pursuits such as tennis. Music, movies, and tea time, her 1.5-hour daily ritual of reflection and relaxation, are integral to her personal life. Growing up in a large Indian family, she embraces both Western and Bollywood cultures, blending them into her personal and professional perspective. Passionate about giving back, she advocates for EKG awareness and art therapy in hospitals, inspired by her own experience receiving a pacemaker at age 19. Guided by values of transparency, collaboration, and authenticity, Mehak encourages women in creative fields to trust themselves, embrace their unique paths, and avoid overthinking the process of defining success.
