The mouthful
Kip Miller is Associate Director of Digital at Terra, where she works across digital strategy, content, SEO, and integrated marketing programs for complex brands.
A writer at heart, Kip’s approach starts with curiosity: digging into unfamiliar topics, figuring out what matters, and turning that research into clear, useful ideas. Her work at Terra spans everything from content and search strategy to larger digital programs built to connect audience needs with business goals.
Her path to digital strategy started in writing and education, including an MFA in Creative Writing and roles spanning teaching, editorial feedback, communications, and content. Today, she brings that mix of research, storytelling, and strategy to client work, helping teams make complicated subjects easier to understand and digital experiences more effective.
