Kompreno is a strategic communications agency in a phase of strong growth. It was founded by Wouter De Vriendt and Jonas Dutordoir, two partners with a long track record in high-visibility, strategic and policy-driven communication. With Kompreno we increase the impact of organisations, companies and actors whose work carries public weight. Their assignments are often complex.
We are not a marketing or advertising agency. Nor are we a graphic design or digital agency. We help you with strategic communication, public relations and media work, and crisis communication.
We are not tied to one type of client. Our clients are public and semi-public actors, and companies. Examples include VLIR-UOS, Stichting Dignity, Hansea, the Benelux Union, Vrouwenraad and crisis communication at corporate C-level.
As founders of Kompreno, we spent many years on that stage ourselves. We know what it takes to perform in a complex and demanding environment. To communicate in a way that wins people over and to secure media visibility, reactively and proactively. To manage a crisis. And to think through strategy and positioning.
What we offer
1. Strategic communication. We develop a distinctive, personal strategy and narrative that generate lasting impact and fit your long-term objectives. Together we define vision, mission, key messages, tone of voice and an advocacy plan.
2. Public relations and media work. From translating complex issues into messages the right audience can use, to reaching journalists through our extensive media network. We get your organisation or company into the press.
3. Crisis communication, 24/7. Being prepared for a crisis is simply good sense. We draw up crisis scenarios and protocols, and set clear lines of decision-making. When a crisis does hit, we contain reputational damage with intensive 24/7 crisis communication support.
4. Training and capacity building. Media training, public speaking, negotiation support or train-the-trainer: we make you and your team stronger.
5. Brand strategy and branding. Campaigns, content (photography, video), web development, digital strategy, a print studio and even scenography. For this we work with Karakters. This full-service communications agency brings its expertise as the reference in the public sector to the corporate world as well. Sustainable, people-centred, with positive impact.
What sets us apart
We believe in a direct approach. No drawn-out processes, but focus on the agreed deliverables and on the value we add. More than advice, we build a partnership based on trust and interaction. Every assignment is carried out by us personally, never passed on to junior staff. Tailor-made is not an empty slogan at Kompreno.
- Solution oriented
- Partnership
- Deliverables, no overhead

What this factsheet does not know
- How good the work is. Figures do not measure creativity, strategy or chemistry.
- How the client portfolio is spread. Concentration is not in the accounts.
- Freelancers and subcontractors are not in the FTE figures. An agency with 40 staff may in practice run with 70 people.
- This agency files an abbreviated or micro scheme and therefore publishes no staff data. Seniority, turnover and hourly level cannot be derived. This is entirely legal and says nothing about quality.
- The figures cover financial year 2025, filed on 24/07/2026. At a fast-moving agency reality today may differ.
