Joost de Leij's Summary

Limelights brings a strong blend of photography, video and social media activation to events in the Netherlands and Belgium.

Products and services range from greenscreen photography / video to complete photo-marketing and social media campaigns. Our goal is creating original event experiences in combination with online & offline brand activation. We work on projects for clients as Disney, Unox, Rabobank, KLM, Universal, Het Concertgebouw, Mars, Heineken, Puma and
the 1%CLUB.

Besides Limelights, I work with my creative consultancy office Red Revolver on various advertising and marketing projects. Main examples are project management of 'the Rooms of Red Bull' and the online photography challenge 'Red Bull 5 Pics'. Within these projects Red Revolver realized, in co-operation with many creative companies, a smooth blend of art, music, photography and advertising in an experimental mix of events, exhibitions, lectures, workshops and parties.

don't hesitate to contact me for interesting projects.
