Recommendations
Will Smale, Business reporter BBC News:
"I edit the BBC News Website's entrepreneurship and small business features. I recently commissioned Thessa to write a feature on the Tunisian wine industry. Thessa got in touch to pitch the idea, and then wrote an excellent feature ahead of the deadline. I would not hesitate to commission her again."
Saskia Grootegoed, Online Campaigns & Communication Manager Amnesty International:
"Thessa Lageman was part of our campaigns and communications team at several instances in the last couple of years. She produced different materials for us, from in depth articles to online content. We have come to know her as very professional and thorough. Thessa has extensive knowledge of middle eastern subjects which she translates into approachable and informative texts."
Jesse Mack, Senior Editorial Manager Skyword Content Marketing Platform, US:
"Thessa has been an integral part of our content creation program for a major cruise line. Time and again, she’s shown us she can reliably manage the high volumes of very detailed content under deadline while meeting — and often exceeding — the high standards of both our client and our internal editing team. If you need an expert writer for travel content on Europe and the Middle East, there’s no question: Thessa should be at the top of your who’s-who list."
Maria Gallo, Project Manager Tipik Communication Agency, Brussels:
"Thessa and I have worked together several times; she has written interesting texts and proved to be always reliable and efficient. A pleasure to work with such a professional journalist. I will certainly come back to her when new opportunities appear!"
Anna Villeleger, Editor-in-chief Discover Benelux magazine, UK:
"Thessa has been a valued contributor to Discover Benelux magazine since July 2016. She is a very skilled writer and adapted to our house style with ease. Quick to respond and reliable, she produces articles that are informative, accurate and a pleasure to read."
Wieneke Gunneweg, Editor-in-chief Erasmus Magazine, Erasmus University Rotterdam:
"Thessa is a conscientious hard worker. She puts a lot of effort in preparing for interviews, is modest but determined, calm but critical and works long hours without complaining. Furthermore she is a brave and independent journalist, that can be funny too."
Rob van Rooijen, Chef ANP Nieuws (Netherlands national news agency):
"In her work for the ANP, Thessa has repeatedly shown herself to be a skilful and highly driven journalist. She has provided us with clear and comprehensive reporting during events such as the Tunisian elections and after the Sousse terrorist attack in June 2015."
Joep van Zijl, creative director agency De Nieuwsmakers (The News Makers):
"Thessa is a dedicated, highly qualified journalist, always respecting deadlines, asking the relevant questions, well prepared before interviews and always delivering excellent work! She is also also a good photographer, the ideal combination if you need an excellent article with pictures... ready for publication."
