Nandini Jammi and Claire Atkin are cofounders of Check My Ads, the adtech industry’s first watchdog. Their work dismantling the ad-funded disinformation economy has been featured in the New York Times, New York Magazine, The Guardian, WIRED, and more. Check My Ads was also named by Fast Company as one of the Most Innovative Media Agencies in the world.

In 2016, Nandini co-founded Sleeping Giants, which launched the social media campaign that resulted in advertisers fleeing Breitbart after the 2016 U.S. elections.

The campaign won a Cannes Gold Lion and a Webby Award for Public Service & Activism.
