Integrated Strategy: Unlocking Consumer Receptivity

Right from the inception of Harvest, we’ve embraced a saying: “To a man with a hammer, every problem is a nail.” This adage rings especially true in the world of digital strategy. All too often, agencies with a singular focus prescribe their specialty as the cure for every marketing challenge. A paid search agency might insist that all your problems can be solved through search, while an influencer agency might claim that influencer marketing is the key to everything.

At Harvest Digital, we believe that channel insights should be the final step in the planning process, not the first. Our approach is rooted in understanding the lived experience of today’s connected consumers. These individuals are inundated with marketing messages and have become adept at filtering out unwanted content. However, we’ve consistently found that our Receptivity model offers a pathway to identifying those moments when consumers are actively interested in a subject and genuinely welcome your messaging.

The Receptivity Model: A Fresh Perspective

Our Receptivity model is built on three key pillars:

  • Buying Attentive Audiences: We focus on reaching consumers when they’re most likely to be receptive to your message. For instance, our work with Riverford revealed that site visits peaked during weekends and evenings, informing our targeting strategy.
  • Choosing Relevant Context: We align your messaging with contexts that resonate with your audience. A prime example is our work with Velo, where we matched ‘beachbound traveller’ audiences with lifestyle beach creative on YouTube, significantly boosting performance.
  • Fine-tuning Messages with Behavioural Science: We apply principles of behavioural science to craft messages that truly resonate with your audience, increasing the likelihood of engagement and action.

Holistic Understanding

Instead of viewing channels in isolation, we consider the entire consumer journey and identify the most impactful touchpoints.

Optimised Media Mix

By understanding when and where consumers are most receptive, we can allocate budget more effectively across channels.

Enhanced Relevance

Our approach ensures that your message reaches consumers when they’re most likely to be interested, increasing engagement and conversion rates.
