Bruce Spurr

Bruce W. Spurr is a veteran marketing strategist with over two decades of experience. From 2001 to 2014, he built and sold a full-service marketing agency that served clients ranging from Fortune 50 companies to universities, small businesses, and government entities. In 2018, he founded Grow Your Center (GYC), dedicated exclusively to the child care industry.

Under Bruce’s leadership, GYC quickly became the go-to partner for centers across North America, filling a major gap in marketing expertise and delivering measurable results. Since then, both the digital landscape and the early childhood industry have changed dramatically — from evolving parent behaviors and platform shifts on Google and Meta, to the rise of AI and the turbulence of the pandemic. While many agencies now offer copycat solutions that underperform, GYC continues to lead with innovation, launching a new suite of programs designed to help child care centers thrive in today’s competitive environment.
