An Agricultural Provider

About The Client

Our client is a specialised provider of agricultural products, serving established farmers aged 50 and over in rural areas. They are a key supplier for their region, offering essential goods that support the local farming industry.

The Challenge

Our client encountered the following key challenges before handing over their marketing initiatives to our Move Ahead Media team:

  • Wasted Ad Spend: Their existing Google Ads campaigns were significantly underperforming and failing to generate a positive return on investment (ROI).

  • Ineffective Targeting: The campaigns were reaching the wrong demographic, primarily university students with academic interests, instead of their core customer base of established farmers.

  • Misaligned Campaign Strategy: While the goal was to drive immediate sales, the search campaign’s strategy was not optimised for conversions. It attracted university students conducting research rather than farmers with high purchase intent.

  • Poor Ad Scheduling: The ads were scheduled to run from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, a time when their target audience was in the fields and least likely to be online.

A Target-First Approach

Our Solution: A Target-First Approach

We identified that the most effective solution was to completely rebuild the digital strategy around the client’s target audience’s actual behaviour. Instead of focusing on a specific platform, we focused on the customer. This led us to implement the following changes:

Shifted the Primary Budget to YouTube Ads

We discovered the client’s audience spent most of their time on YouTube. They frequently listen to music or watch videos while working, making it the most effective channel to prioritise.

Farmers in this region are early risers, often starting their day around 3 AM. They use YouTube for entertainment from the moment they wake up and throughout their workday. This new schedule ensured our ads were visible during their peak activity hours.

We placed a large, clear phone number directly in the video ads. This gave farmers a simple, immediate way to contact the company on a platform they already use and trust, making it incredibly easy for them to take the next step.

To maximise visibility, we launched a Demand Gen campaign. This allowed our ads to appear not only on YouTube but also across other high-impact Google platforms.

We kept a small-budget Search Campaign running to capture the few farmers who use Google Search, as well as their tech-savvy children or grandchildren who might be searching for products on their behalf.

The Result

Our commitment to a new, data-driven strategy produced immediate results. By deeply analysing audience behaviour and allocating the budget to the most effective platform, our campaign generated over 100 new orders, directly translating strategic insights into revenue for the client.
