Annabella

Scout Lab, which specializes in clients that focus on human and planetary health, is named communication AOR for Annabella, an Israeli-based femtech brand that launched a first-of-its-kind breast pump in the US in January 2024. The partnership comes after Scout Lab led communications for the US launch of the Annabella breast pump and its announcement of the close of its $8.5M seed funding round. Scout Lab’s efforts resulted in features in outlets such as Glamour, Axios, The Strategist and The Cut. The agency continues to lead communications and thought leadership efforts for the brand as they expand their product line. “From day one, we knew Scout Lab was the perfect communications partner for Annabella’s US launch,” said Annabella global VP of marketing Sharon Dover. “Their deep knowledge and history of helping femtech startups grow was pivotal in the success of our launch.”
