Digital Activation Strategy

As marketers get bombarded with the latest trends and digital solutions, we have identified a growing need to go ‘behind the scene’ and define the role for our clients.

We help clients prioritize the digital effort and outline a clear editorial approach to ensure content activation through digital assets that amplify the collective story.

 

The most common challenges to address are:

  • When is content relevant and valuable for digital activation?
  • How to identify optimal digital solutions solely within digital media space?
  • When to move your digital content into cross-media channels?
  • How can we entertain your audiences on their terms?
  • How do we best use the digital channels?
  • How do we manage and operate digital solutions that are content lead?

Kuanhsi Consulting has developed a simple model to structure and guide the activation of digital content – we call it the REAL model:

  • Reach: Where do we distribute to gain most powerful impact
  • Engagement: How do we interact with consumers based?
  • Activation: Which content are relevant and what to communicate?
  • Learning: How do we track DATA and use it to optimize your effort?
