The Canadian Out-of-Home Measurement Bureau (COMB), which publishes circulation and market data measuring audiences for out-of-home (OOH) advertising across the country, has announced changes to its board.
Ron Hutchinson, senior vice-president (SVP) of real estate services for Astral Out-of-Home, is retiring from the board. He was first elected to it in 1992 and became treasurer in 2008. He is succeeded as treasurer by Barry Wilde, chief financial officer (CFO) for Pattison Outdoor Advertising.
“Ron participated in many COMB committees,” says Julie Myers, chair. “His passion and commitment will be missed.”
Meanwhile, two new directors have been appointed for a one-year term: Fiona McLauglin, vice-president (VP) and group director of communications planning for Carat; and Lisa Kahn, VP and group director of Vizeum/Dentsu Aegis.
“Fiona and Lisa will bring a wealth of media knowledge and strategic planning experience to our board,” says Myers.
Finally, Astral president Luc Quétel has taken over a seat previously held by Jordana Fatsis, Astral’s VP of OOH sales.
