Top 20 LinkedIn Creators in Belgium (2026)

Most "top LinkedIn creators in Belgium" lists are, underneath, a follower count. Followers tally who subscribed once, not who still gets read now. In Belgium the gap shows at the top: Murat Aydin, fourth by followers in this ranking, draws more than twice the median likes of anyone else.

So we ranked Belgium by a working measure instead. At MagicPost we took the 59 active Belgian creators in our dataset (5,000 followers minimum, 30 posts in the last 12 months) and sorted them on median likes per post over the past year.

Only creators with at least one post in the last 60 days are ranked. This is a small pool: 59 active Belgian creators pass our floors, so a few posts can move the lower ranks.

The median creator in the pool draws 30 likes a post. Number twenty here draws 1.6 times that. Murat Aydin, at number one, draws 31 times that.

Each entry carries a data card, a note on what stands out and the creator's most liked post of the last 12 months. For a steady supply of posts like these, see MagicPost's post inspiration library.

The full board first, then the countdown:

Where do these cards come from? We computed every figure on this page from public posts with MagicPost's LinkedIn analytics: median engagement, engagement rates, themes, trajectories and favorite slots, across 59 Belgian creators. It works on your profile too, including a side-by-side with anyone on this list.

Who are the most-followed LinkedIn creators in Belgium?

Followers are what most lists rank by, so here they are: the ten biggest active accounts in our Belgium dataset (10+ posts in the last 12 months, one in the last 60 days). This is the top of our data, not a census of every Belgian profile.

Accounts with fewer than 10 posts in 12 months, or none in the last 60 days, are left out by design, so public lists of the most-followed Belgian profiles can differ.

Which LinkedIn creators in Belgium have the highest engagement rate?

Raw like counts reward whoever has the biggest crowd. Engagement rate corrects for that: median likes per post divided by followers (20k followers and over). Here is the Belgian top five by that measure:

All five also sit in the top 20, our number one included: Murat Aydin keeps a 0.77% rate on 120k followers, close behind Magali De Reu (0.80%), a personal brand strategist with 45k.

The top 20 itself runs from 1.23% (Ilyass Aoussar, on 7k followers, below the bar of this cut) down to 0.11% (Chandrakumar R Pillai), about an 11-fold spread.

For the country-level picture, see Belgium's LinkedIn engagement rate in our country study. Inside this ranking, the three highest rates belong to small accounts, all under 10k followers.

Which LinkedIn creator in Belgium gets the most comments per post?

One last angle that rarely shows up in these lists: comments relative to likes. The record in our Belgian pool (counting accounts with 100+ median likes) is held by Magali De Reu again, at 181 median comments against 356 median likes, about one comment for every two likes.

Shirley Chantraine and Steven Claes follow at nearly the same ratio. The typical top-20 creator gets one comment per 8 likes. Below the 100-like bar, Pierre Evrard's feed goes further still, with more comments than likes.

Where are Belgium's LinkedIn-native creators?

Belgium's top 20 has room for LinkedIn natives, the people who teach visibility, personal branding and writing on the platform. Five do: Magali De Reu, Cynthia Luca, Mélanie Cloes, Jennifer Debatisse and Léna Sun. The rest are consultants, an HR leader, a labor economist, entrepreneurs and investors.

The ranking is also bilingual at heart: of the twenty most liked posts quoted above, ten are in English, nine in French and one in Dutch. For the neighbors, see France's top LinkedIn creators and the Netherlands' ranking; for the global picture, our worldwide ranking of the top LinkedIn creators.

We studied the natives separately, one data biography at a time, in our guide to the top LinkedIn creators to study.

One timing note. Thirteen of these twenty post most often between 8 AM and 10 AM on a weekday, and Tuesday at 9 AM is the most common slot. That sits close to what works for ordinary accounts: weekday mornings, 7 AM to 9 AM local time.

The latest slot belongs to our number one, Murat Aydin, who posts most often on Sunday at 9 PM.

And if showing up in these creators' comment sections is part of your plan, an engagement feed keeps it to a five-minute daily habit.

How we ranked Belgium's top LinkedIn creators

All of this is MagicPost's own research. We went through the last 12 months of posts from 59 Belgian creators and ranked them by median likes per post.

Only creators with at least one post in the last 60 days are ranked. The method:

  • Floors: at least 5,000 followers and 30 posts in the window; deleted posts excluded.

  • Median rather than average: no single viral post can buy a place.

  • Posts analyzed: the posts our dataset holds per creator, sometimes fewer than they published.

  • Per creator: themes, yearly trajectories, writing fingerprints, engagement rates and conversation ratios.

With 59 creators, the pool is small, and a handful of posts can reorder the bottom of the list. No placement here was sponsored; every rank comes straight from the median.

Study them, then study yourself. With MagicPost you can analyze any Belgian creator the way we just did (median engagement, engagement rate, themes, trajectory, slots) and benchmark your own profile against the country. The data on this page is the product.

FAQ

Who is the top LinkedIn creator in Belgium in 2026?

Murat Aydin is #1 in MagicPost's 2026 ranking of 59 active Belgian creators, with 924 median likes per post over the last 12 months, 31 times the pool median. The biggest audience in the ranking, Steven Claes's (166k followers), ranks second.

How is this ranking calculated?

MagicPost ranks Belgian creators by median likes per post over the last 12 months, among 59 creators with 5,000+ followers, 30+ posts in the window and a post in the last 60 days. Median, not average, so one viral post cannot buy a spot.

Why isn't the most-followed creator in this ranking number one?

Because followers measure accumulated audience, not current engagement. Steven Claes has the largest audience here at 166k, with a 0.25% engagement rate (median likes divided by followers). Murat Aydin, with 120k followers, posts an engagement rate of 0.77% and draws more than twice Claes's median likes.

Who has the most followers on LinkedIn in Belgium?

Among the active Belgian creators in our dataset, Steven Claes has the most LinkedIn followers, with 166k, ahead of Chandrakumar R Pillai (142k) and Stijn Baert (133k). By median likes, Claes ranks second; Murat Aydin, fourth by followers, ranks first.

Who are the most efficient Belgian creators?

Magali De Reu is the most efficient creator in our Belgium pool by engagement rate (median likes / followers, minimum 20k followers), at 0.80%, ahead of Murat Aydin (0.77%) and Thibaud Elziere (0.39%).

Are there any "LinkedIn creators" in the Belgian top 20?

Yes, five. Magali De Reu (#3), Cynthia Luca (#13), Mélanie Cloes (#14), Jennifer Debatisse (#16) and Léna Sun (#18) teach personal branding, visibility or writing on LinkedIn. The rest are consultants, an HR leader, a labor economist, entrepreneurs and investors.

What is the best time to post on LinkedIn in Belgium?

Weekday mornings from 7 AM to 9 AM local time work best for most accounts, per our guide to the best time to post on LinkedIn. In Belgium's top 20, thirteen of the twenty favor 8 AM to 10 AM on a weekday.
