Who we are

Step into our kitchen

Picnic was founded in 2019 by Clint Omelaniec and Steffen Janzen with the goal of helping food & beverage marketers more easily and effectively produce custom content for their owned (web, digital, social, email, packaging, point of sale) and paid advertising channels.

By bringing together a multi-disciplinary team under one roof in a bespoke space, Picnic disrupts traditional production models with a more customized, streamlined and accessible offering. Our team of filmmakers, photographers, food stylists, culinary professionals and marketers are available on-demand to act as an extension of any agency, marketing or sales team.

Picnic’s head office and physical studio space is located in Burnaby, BC’s film production district, just off Production Way. Picnic’s over 3,000 square feet of production space includes a kitchen studio set, commercial prep kitchen, props library and office space. Another satellite team operates in  Calgary, Alberta, to better service clients across Western Canada.
