Revista

What Revista does

Revista is a Belgian creative agency headquartered in Oudenaarde, Flanders, founded in 2017 and operating with a small core team of approximately six staff. The firm specializes in tangible print communication, producing custom-designed magazines, books, corporate identities, packaging, garden planners and calendars, and exhibition materials. Its service offering spans editorial direction, graphic design, photography, and full production management, delivered as project-based professional services rather than software or recurring platform offerings.

The company serves clients primarily in the Flemish region across four core verticals: healthcare institutions (AZ Oudenaarde, AZ Voorkempen, WZC Leiehome), local government and municipalities (Nazareth-De Pinte), publishers and professional associations (Uitgeverij Sterck & De Vreese, VVJ, Kerknet), and individual authors (Angelo Dorny, Vegamuze/Eveline Versluys). Its portfolio of approximately 30 named publications and design projects spans resident magazines, staff magazines, cookbooks, gardening books, history books, and lifestyle magazines. The firm differentiates through end-to-end creative ownership — from concept through print-ready files — and in-house photography capabilities supplemented by a curated freelancer and partner network (including Tumbleweed and Fireflies for photography, Gelo uit Gent for branding, and Drukkerij Perka for printing).

Revista generates revenue through individual client projects with pricing scoped per engagement; no recurring contracts, subscriptions, or publicly disclosed pricing exist. Distribution is direct-to-client via website contact forms, email ([email protected]), and phone, with marketing primarily driven by its portfolio website and Instagram presence. In 2026, Revista was acquired by Capone, a creative agency based in Kortrijk, Belgium, and now operates as a brand under Capone with client contact redirected to Capone personnel. No external funding, venture capital, or institutional investment has been disclosed; the company was bootstrapped prior to the acquisition.
