Carlijn Joosten

Artmiks has developed the PICNIC identity for this years event. They also developed the campaigns for the first two years.

As Project Manager Carlijn was also very involved in last years PICNIC Green Challenge which won a Golden Giraffe for the event coordination.

Carlijn is a compulsive networker, at PICNIC 07 she managed to get the mobile numbers of both Richard Branson and Woody Harrelson within the time it takes to knock back one Bacardi Breezer. She danced with Woody till dawn. He was so moved he almost gave up his marihuana habit.

Carlijn is a fitness addict, often found working her abs in her local gym. She paid for two years membership so she has to. When not working up a sweat she likes to drink cupfuls of Adez soya drink. She is under the illusion that it is healthy and refuses to read the ingredients list on the side of the packet. Her pet name at work is 'Rabbit' because everyone she meets just wants to pick her up and cuddle her, mind you you'd have to be pretty strong to do that.

Her Art Director Colleage (and dear friend) Paul 'Foxy-Fox' Oram is a secret admirer of hers who is constantly coming over to her desk for no apparent reason other than to offer her a carrot, which is probably taking the rabbit nickname a little to far. She loves it though.

She was photographed hiding behind the giant PICNIC sign in this portrait because her bra strap had just snapped.
