Special edition – Skout’s 15th Birthday

15 years of laughs, lessons & lasting impact
With Rob Skinner
MD and Founder, Skout
Also joined by Skout’s Director, Claire Lamb

Episode Overview

In this very special episode, we’re celebrating 15 years of Skout! Founder Rob Skinner and Director Claire Lamb sit down with our Deputy MD, CJ, to reflect on the journey so far—from awkward first meetings and near-missed flights, to growing a thriving agency and becoming employee-owned. It’s a candid, heartfelt, and hilarious behind-the-scenes look at the moments that shaped Skout into the agency it is today.

Whether you’re running an agency, thinking about launching one, or just want a laugh and some honest reflections from two agency leaders who’ve seen it all—this episode’s for you.
