With over 14 years experience, Chilcott has a diverse technical background and brings a broad range of skills and experience to the digital team, including digital development, cloud based software development and architecture, online security system analysis and design, data modeling and visualisation. Chilcott looks to push the boundaries of technology to deliver creative outcomes, having been involved with significant projects during his time with Ultraserve, Streamtime Software and most recently The White Agency.

Dhanuj is a data enthusiast, who has seen first hand the way that data-driven decisions are transforming the way organisations do business. Dhanuj has worked across a wide variety of clients including Lenovo, Intel and Airbnb. She brings her experience in digital and social analytics to the Research & Insights division in Sydney.
