Life at Skout

If you haven’t heard by now, Skout is under new ownership! No, we haven’t been bought out – in fact it’s quite the opposite. As of last week, Skout officially became an employee-owned business. This was achieved by the founding shareholders, Rob and Claire, signing 100% ownership over to a newly established Employee Ownership Trust […]

A few weeks ago, the entire Skout team visited the beautiful and historic city of Palma, Majorca for our annual kick off event. It’s been a long time in the planning (pre-pandemic to be precise) and the first time we’ve been abroad for a kick off to the new financial year. We’ve always found kick […]

Why was PR your chosen career?  PR is all about storytelling, with so much opportunity for creativity and content creation. Since I’ve always loved writing, I thought that PR would be the ideal career to channel my creativity. I’m all about communication, and PR really allows you to foster meaningful relationships.

You see, you don’t always need to be a media junkie or […]

As another year comes to a close, it’s always great to look back on the year just gone – and, 2022 has certainly been a remarkable 12-months for Skout! From celebrating our 12th  birthday, to being placed in Prolific North’s top 50 PR agencies list and winning two awards at the Marketing and PR Brilliance […]

On Sunday 31st July, England’s Lionesses ended 56 years of hurt by overcoming the goliath task of beating Germany 2-1 in the European Championship final to finally bring football home. It was fantastic to watch the team storm the post-match press conference to celebrate their well-deserved victory.  This got me thinking, how does one of […]

This month, we’re celebrating 12 years of Skout (yes, we’re nearly a teenager). To mark the occasion, we thought we’d sit down with the man himself, our founder, Rob Skinner.   The story of Skout started all the way back in 2010…David Cameron became UK prime minister, Prince William and Kate Middleton announced their engagement, […]
