Sapristi

What Sapristi does

Sapristi (legal entity: SAPRISTI ESTUDIO CREATIVO, SL) is a privately held Spanish creative advertising agency founded in 1986, headquartered in Barcelona with additional offices in Valencia, Dénia, and Madrid. The agency describes its positioning as "la otra publicidad" (different advertising) and operates as a boutique professional-services firm with a named team of approximately 14 people covering art direction, copywriting, account management, social media, and graphic design. Its client base is unusually diverse for its size, spanning European and Spanish public institutions (European Parliament, Generalitat Valenciana, Ministerio de Sanidad, municipalities of Dénia and Elx), large enterprises (Coca-Cola, CaixaBank, Baleària, Hospital La Fe, Portal de la Marina), NGOs (Médicos Sin Fronteras), and growth-stage companies (BusUp, Easypromos, Cocoro).

The agency's offering is organized into three integrated service categories: Branding (brand strategy, brand identity, packaging, editorial design), Communication (corporate reputation, press office, internal communication, crisis strategy, institutional relations), and Advertising (integrated campaigns, communication plans, positioning, corporate events, social media management). Deliverables are bespoke client campaigns rather than standardized or software-based products; no proprietary technology, platform, or API is disclosed, and the business has no patents, no external funding, and no subsidiaries beyond a related Decom branding entity that operates in partnership with Sapristi.

Sapristi generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements (retainer terms are not disclosed), selling strategic and creative work into government, enterprise, and NGO accounts via a direct sales motion from its four regional offices. The firm is partnership-owned, with David Adelantado serving as partner and creative director, and Gonzalo Chastel and Taitá Chastel as partners of the related Decom entity. Its brand reputation is supported by a long tail of regional industry awards (Premios Alce, Festival La Lluna, Premios GoliAds, Anuaria, Premios CdeC, Festival Agripina, Premios MIA) and a 2025 WINA International Awards Bronze, placing it among the better-known mid-sized creative shops in Spain.
