She moved to Beaverton during her high school years and then relocated to Barrie, Ontario to study advertising at Georgian College.\\n\\nTerra\\u2019s media career started before she even had the chance to graduate, beginning as a digital media assistant at M2 Universal, and looking after high-profile clients such as the Dairy Farmers of Canada and the Royal Bank of Canada.\\n\\nFrom there she moved on to senior digital roles at OMD and Vizuem.\\n\\nTerra pivoted to media sales when the opportunity presented itself with the Globe and Mail.\\n\\nBut agency life would come calling again, and Terra took a full-on programmatic role at Touch\\xe9 under the Omicom Media Group banner. An internal promotion moved her to Red Magnet, a sister agency specifically created to serve Rogers Communications, Canada\\u2019s largest telecommunications company.\\n\\nWhat makes Terra\\u2019s story so interesting is the fact that she brings experience from three different digital media disciplines: direct planning & buying, programmatic strategy, and media sales.'
