The Power of Independent Agencies to Lead Change
Leverate Group CEO Marlina Lim has transformed the Indonesian agency into a regional marketing powerhouse with operations in Indonesia, Singapore, and Germany. Achieving 110% revenue growth in two years and expanding to Singapore by 2024, she is one of the few female CEOs in Indonesia's advertising sector.
Known for blending technological innovation with human-centered growth, Marlina redefined Leverate into an integrated consultancy with a strong focus on marketing technology and AI partnerships.
Her leadership, characterized by transparency, empowerment, and collaboration through networks like Tribe Global and Stagwell, sets new standards for independent agency leadership in Southeast Asia, driving business success and industry progress.
I’m honoured to join the Blutui Founder's Circle, a space for collaboration, innovation, and shared ambition in the creative tech space. As the Group CEO of Leverate Group, I believe in the power of independent agencies to lead change and shape the future of brand experiences across Southeast Asia and beyond. I look forward to contributing and learning alongside other forward-thinking leaders in this community.
