2024 Product releases
Legend has it... teamwork makes the dream work, and in 2024, scaling content took center stage. This year, we put our heads down and made some magic happen within the platform.
Multiple Brand Kits
Brand Kits, manage your brand centrally, ensuring on-brand content. Multiple brand kits allow you to separate sub, sister, or campaign brands.
Global Doc Settings
With Global Doc settings, you improve governance by automatically applying preferred settings to every new Doc. This saves you time and ensures brand consistency.
Personalization
With our personalization features, your company can make every reader interaction unique and authentic, whether by addressing your reader by name or only showing a page to a specific audience.
Carousel
Add a sliding carousel to your page (like the one you're looking at) and let your audience scroll horizontally through cards, making your content more visually attractive!
Locked Content
With locked content, you lock the content and styling of specific blocks, preventing other users from making changes. With this extra governance layer, your design and content remain intact.
Advanced Analytics
With the new Advanced Analytics, you get access to a whole new load of data on account or project level. You now get an overview of your content's performance instead of being only on a Doc level. Giving you the bigger picture.

Like you, we’ve been busy creating beautiful Foleon Docs this year.
See for yourself:
A Guide to Marketing Content
Every company or brand out there knows that the key to standing out lies in the content you create.
The issue is that most people think backward. They start by thinking about the content they want to create, then move on to the strategy behind it. But content should always come last in your thinking process.
A Guide to Sales Content
Let's face it: it's getting harder and harder for Go-to-Market teams to win the attention of prospects.
Spending hours on creating content, to never know if it's being read or actually has an impact. And the worst part? 65% of all this beautiful content will never be used. Time for a change!
A Guide to HR Content
Hiring and retaining talented individuals for junior or senior positions is not easy. Yet many businesses don't seem to grasp the hidden potential of great Human Resources (HR) content. From attracting, onboarding and retaining employees, content is everywhere.
A Guide to Content for Corporate Comms
Whoever said corporate comms was boring obviously doesn't know what it entails. Every company does corporate communications, from the latest press release to the internal email you last sent. And not investing in it might cost you more than you think.

Foleon turned 10 🎉
This year, Foleon turned 10! We've made great memories and hit impactful milestones along the way. We'll take you on our 10-year journey in the carousel below. Scroll to the right. ✨
The start of it all
In 2014, Joost and Daan founded Instant Magazine, a tool for creating digital magazines - THE alternative to PDF.
Attracting talent
To build a business, you need people. Why look far if you can find a solid human resource in the comfort of your home? Foleon’s first hire was Daan's wife, Sabrina.
Expanding horizons
In 2016, Daan and his family spent three months in New York, tackling the challenge of breaking into the US market. While it was tougher than expected, the hard work paid off.
Rebranding to Foleon
In 2019, we gave up Instant Magazine to embrace Foleon. We realized people used us for much more than digital magazines. It was time for a new name. Foleon comes from Folio, Latin for leaf. And On stands for online/interactive.
Foundational change
In 2021, we introduced the most expensive button on our platform: Undo/Redo. A game-changer and essential for content creation. It required us to restructure our entire backend, ensuring a seamless and user-friendly functionality.
Content democratization
Anyone should be able to create and publish great content quickly without any design skills. In 2023, we introduced a new solution: the Content Builder. Ensuring that creativity flows without risking design integrity.
Personalization is here
2024 is all about Personalization. Not just at Foleon, but for all content creators. Every reader interaction should feel unique and authentic. No one wants to read something generic. You have the power to create content that truly connects.
Build one team
For the first time in 10 years, we were all together in one place to celebrate our incredible journey on the 10th day of the 10th month of the 10th year.
Our customers
“How crazy would it be if we onboarded 1,000 customers?” That’s what Daan said to Joost in 2014. Little did they know where the company would be standing today, having served over 3000 organizations worldwide.
Thank you 💙
For 2024 and the time you've been part of this journey. We couldn’t have done it without you. We’re eternally grateful.
