SCOOP STRATEGIES’ founder Scott Lewis has spent the majority of his career in one kind of start-up or another. He’s always had an entrepreneurial mindset even if it took a while to actually become an entrepreneur. He’s the one always asking “why not?” and “what’s possible?” As a photojournalist, he was adept enough to both create award winning bodies of work that documented the little moments that have universal meaning in daily life in the most mundane of places, a midwestern suburb, and a moving portrait of those living amidst the waning days of the Second Intifada in Israel and the West Bank. His photojournalism work has garnered international acclaim and led to a wide range of experiences including documenting the lives of ordinary people facing extraordinary challenges, working with National Geographic, mentoring African journalists, and creating image libraries for visionary corporate clients. As an entrepreneur he’s helped oversee the management of transporting a vessel through the Panama Canal (from the comfort of his home in Philly), secured investment and acquisitions for small business and a nonprofit, and strategically applied the use of visual storytelling to increase the perception of an organization’s size, scope, and direct impact.

This varied range of experience is bound together through a spirit of curiosity and ambition to explore the edges of what’s possible. Having such a diverse background informs a unique perspective on business that reveals certain truths of what it means to strive for greatness and how to achieve it through positivity, innovation, and collaboration.
