Event description: 

Nandini Jammi is a keynote speaker, activist and co-founder of Check My Ads, a non-profit adtech watchdog.

Nandini has been immersed in the world of brand safety & content moderation since 2016, when she began anonymously running Sleeping Giants, the award-winning social media campaign that successfully urged advertisers to block programs espousing hate and harassment, including Alex Jones’s Infowars.

Sleeping Giants won a Cannes Gold Lion and a Webby Award in 2019. The campaign also sparked a global movement and recently launched the #StopHateForProfit campaign along with the Anti-Defamation League, NAACP & Color of Change.

Prior to becoming an activist, Nandini served as a marketing lead for tech startups in London and Berlin. She graduated from the University of Maryland’s R.H. Smith School of Business. In college, she worked at The Diamondback, one of the nation’s top college newspapers and studied abroad at Bocconi University in Milan.
