We're proud to share that Guru's Founder and President, Laurissa Stebeleski has joined the Board of COMMB (Canadian Out-of-Home Marketing and Measurement Bureau).

Laurissa's ties to out-of-home go back to the start of her career, when she was the resident OOH specialist at OMD. Laurissa is passionate about the medium, planning innovative uses and sharing creative examples from her travels. OOH is a significant part of the media investment we make on behalf of Guru's clients.

Congratulations, Laurissa. We're excited to see your expertise put to work at the Board level!
