Kaitlyn Barclay is one of those entrepreneurs you just can’t help but love. Nice, honest, and genuinely curious, Kaitlyn took her love to tech and turned it into Scout Lab,  a creative agency that specializes in brand identity and communications for purpose-driven companies. Since its launch in 2017, Scout Lab has worked with the likes of Adidas, Wix, Motorola and Alibaba Group.
