“Lien is my go-to-person to get things unstuck. Careful: she asks all the questions you secretly don't want to answer. So don't work with her if you don't feel like doing hard work. She'll force you to introspect, dig deep and go the extra mile. I recommend her to anyone looking for réal growth. The best marketeer I know, the kind of marketeer and person I look up to and you should too.”
- Ilse Van Dyck
Founder at Boelo
Former CMO at Newpharma
“Strategic and connected, that is what comes to mind if I describe working together with Lien. I’ve had the pleasure to work with her on several occasions where scaling and growth were of the essence. Lien has a good understanding of what salespeople need to be able to be successful. Thanks to graphic and copywriting skills she’s able to translate complex B2B value propositions into comprehensible messages. Her ‘human radar’ tells her who’s best suited for certain positions (and who’s not) and her critical attitude makes sure that sometimes delicate messages come across.
I would recommend her in assignments where the focus is on growth, value propositions and people.”

Co-founder Peripass
“I rely on Lien when I need advice about my career, team dynamics, and my work-life balance. Lien listens and advises without overpowering, but rather by gently guiding me in the right direction. Afterward, she also stays in touch and checks how the challenges are evolving. So I advise Lien as the perfect mentor when having professional struggles.” (2021)

"Thank you for your energy. It was fun to brainstorm and I was impressed by your way of thinking, the questions you asked, and how you connect theory and practice. In short: you know your stuff ... hats off." (2021)
- Brecht Vandenborre
Director at STAS
“Lien constantly amazed me with her industry insight and original approaches to solving problems. Her hands-on approach to Digital communication, Community management, Marketing strategy, and her strong personality won her the respect of the sales and marketing team. I would recommend her for any project that requires the very best in Digital Marketing. She was always able to successfully complete any tasks with favorable results despite deadline pressure. Lien possesses a winning combination of solid tech skills and business sense, I learned a great deal from her. Definitely someone I'd want to have on my team. (2017)

Field Sales Marketing Manager at Fujitsu
“Lien, or the most atypical character I have ever met. And it's all positive! This girl is simply unique. She combines both passion and know-how. This makes her impressive, thanks to her creative spirit but also to her rigor. Lien can think and execute a communication plan from A to Z while respecting the objectives of the company's various stakeholders. Her great understanding of what technology can do and what is available on the market is another string she can add to her bow. By now, you will have understood that I have a lot of admiration for Lien because for me she combines all the characteristics of an expert in modern communication. That's why after being Lien's supplier at ABB, when she became a freelancer, we were one of her first clients. " (2015)

VP Marketing at Actito
Everything Lien says is pure gold. I don’t really take advice from others often, as I am very determined in my own path. But when Lien helps me where I can’t see it anymore, I take every pearl of wisdom for truth. It’s also very annoying how the woman is ALWAYS right. I don’t know anyone else who is as highly intelligent, practical, extremely efficient and business savvy as Lien. She carries Notworking, a vast professional network, all by herself and fills it with barely to contain insights and eye opening advice. I actually have a list of ‘to be applied Lien De Leenheer advice’ on my desk, as I can’t even keep up to implement all of it. None of Lien’s bits of advice are vague oracle pointers. They’re all eye-opening must-haves to better your business, find structure, charge more, protect your budgets from client chaos, generally finetune everything into a lean, mean, time and cost-efficient productive machine. We want you to write a book, Lien. Thanks for all the advice! (2021)

“I have come to know Lien De Leenheer as a warm person who is to the point. Lien is someone who finds creative and result-oriented solutions for the most complex marketing challenges. A strong lady who really knows what she is talking about and who also puts her winning strategies into practice. What more can you ask for?” (2021)

“I cooperated closely with Lien at Four Pees, and it quickly became clear that we had hooked a big fish. She taught me all about the ins and outs of marketing (strategy, trends ...) and guided Four Pees towards a brand-new website and branding, a bombshell in the graphic arts industry. Every time, she amazes me with her bright ideas (strategy, as well as copy and design). It really shows her passion for marketing! The icing on the cake? She is a wonderful person. (2020)
— Justine Trio
Marketing manager at FourPees
"During four months, Lien helped us with the communication of our rebranding. As of day one, she was an energy injection in the team. Her great social and communication skills made her interact easily with our internal studio, delivering the projects we discussed up front. Her knowledge about many facets of digital marketing made it easy to switch from one project to another. She is an all-rounder with expertise and does tri-lingual copywriting. The launch, setup and activation of our content & social media approach was great, ensuring website traffic for months to come. Hire her, you won’t regret it." (2015)

Managing Partner at RAAK agency
"Lien is one of the most driven people I've met in social media marketing. Her ideas are often bold, creative and thoroughly considered. She also skillfully coordinates the efforts of her team on social media platforms such that it benefits her entire region and the business as a whole. She's motivated, energetic and creative -all key attributes of a marketing and communications manager. Moreover, when I compare the results of some of the projects Lien heads with others across the company at a global level, the returns on Lien's efforts frequently surpass the rest. I am glad to recommend Lien, both as a pleasant person to work with and as an experienced social media marketer.” (2014)

“As a communicator, Lien is passion personified. She puts 100% of herself into everything she does – and it shows in her creativity and they way she connects with her audience. I’ve known and worked with Lien for over five years, and find her to be a great advocate for professional, innovative communications. She is also experienced in adapting messages for a very diverse mix of cultures and channels, including social media, for which she was an early adopter.
Lien is truly a global communicator who brings a real spark to any project she touches, and I find her energy both boundless and contagious. Its my pleasure to recommend her." (2014)
