She has worked on clients such as Tails.com, Harry’s, Barclaycard, Ancestry and Axe.

Chandrasekaran told Campaign: “It’s an absolute honour to be co-chairing the 2024 Campaign Big Awards, an organisation I credit for helping to shape mine and Dan’s career all those many years ago. I will do my utmost to make sure ‘How the hell did that win?!’ does not happen on my watch.”
