About Terra Walker

From the first time I heard the beautiful music of a modem dialing up the internet (back in the old days), I was hooked on the power of the internet as a communication tool. As social media has become a cornerstone of audience engagement, I have turned my passion into a career. My expertise includes: Results-driven social media and brand marketing: At Comcast Advertising (FreeWheel + Effectv) I am the lead social strategist, voice of the company, and content driver across our social portfolio encompassing three primary brands. Building Employer Brand Marketing Strategy: In 2021, I raised my hand to launch an employer brand marketing team for Comcast Advertising. After a year of putting all the pieces in place, including hiring new team members to support, our first full year of activation has been tremendously impactful for the company. A grower of thought leaders: I help peers understand and improve their own digital reputations which in turn boosts the reputation of the entire brand. I have launched three employee social advocacy platforms that simultaneously drive brand awareness and help users gain quality followers and engagement. A disciplined approach to analysis: I publish regular reports that prove the impact my work has on business goals. The reports are focused on KPIs such as engagement, referral traffic, mentions, applications and conversions. I am adept at pulling insights from multiple sources and using data to drive business decisions. Experienced Social SME: I help others understand and optimize social tools. I have used social monitoring tools to better gauge consumer sentiment on key issues which I then fed back to our sales and product teams to help them better understand the market landscape for a more targeted sales approach. A true brand ambassador: An experienced business professional with social media and brand marketing experience is the best of both worlds. I have the maturity to represent any organization, coupled with a passion for being on top of the latest trends.
