meet the chef. again.

Growing up immersed in the iconic ads by the living legend Piyush Pandey, I was captivated by their creative simplicity. This sparked my curiosity about the journey behind such brilliant ideas, and how small detail - whether human behavior, culture, brand magic, or data - shapes the bigger picture. Naturally, this curiosity led me into a career in planning and strategy.

Hi, I am Aparajita Srivastava.

(feel free to use AJ;
it’s a bit easier to say!)

I’m a T-shaped strategist with a focus on media. I am also a Canadian Permanent Resident who’s current first love is poutine, and second is a permanent fight between Excel and Powerpoint.

I’ve been fortunate to have cooked plans and strategies for brands such as Cadbury Dairy Milk, 5 Star, Forever21, Levi’s, West Elm, Tiffany & Co. and more.

With over 6 years of experience across in-house and agency kitchens, I have spearheaded award-winning campaigns, managed multi-million dollar portfolios, and driven top-line and bottom-line business growth.

In short, I enable better connections that drive results - from brand-consumer relationships to fostering collaboration with cross-functional partnerships. However, my value to you goes beyond this.

  • I understand and help brands connect with their consumers on a human level with data-driven creative omni-channel solutions, not just to sell products but to also build brand love.

  • (not to be confused with Particle Accelerator)

    I listen and cultivate relationships and facilitate smooth collaboration for improved efficiency and operational excellence.

  • I bring a keen eye for detail to avoid redundancy and always deliver quality work.

When I’m not

cooking (strategies),

  • I'm planning my weekends immersed in art or nature.

    Painting and traveling are my biggest passions, giving me a deeper appreciation for diverse perspectives and hone my ability to connect the dots – much like interpreting data and finding creative solutions.
