Welcoming Klara-Lien and Arne to the team

Klara-Lien Lam (PR officer)

We were thrilled to welcome back Klara-Lien in January, who had been part of our team for six months last year. Klara-Lien first joined us for a three-month internship during her Bachelor studies at Erasmus Hogeschool. After her internship, she continued working with us for another three months before taking time off to travel through Southeast Asia. We’re excited to have her back! At just 21 years old, Klara-Lien is a driven and dynamic talent ready to make an impact. Fluent in Dutch, French, and English, she’s a true asset in our multilingual team.

"When I graduated, I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted to do. What I did know was that I wanted to try a bit of everything! That’s why I pursued a degree in Communication Management and joined Brum Smith—a collaborative team where I can apply my skills across different areas. The dynamic and diverse nature of the work is what keeps me motivated every day!"

Arne Van Ongeval (Senior Consultant)

Arne brings over 20 years of experience in PR and corporate communications. After 14 years at leading agencies like PR-ide and Ogilvy, he launched his freelance activity in 2017, supporting a diverse portfolio of clients across different industries. With a strong interest in technology, he has developed a deep understanding of translating complex topics into clear and compelling stories that resonate with varied audiences. His strategic mindset and storytelling skills make him a great asset to our team.

“I'm thrilled to join Brum Smith, an agency whose name is everywhere thanks to its growing success and forward-thinking approach. From the very start, I felt that my way of working aligned perfectly with the team's dynamic spirit and ambition to keep growing. I’m excited to contribute my experience and help shape even more impactful stories together.”
