Empiricism, Insights and Integrity
Experts in objective research and insights.
Our expertise is ideally suited to develop and substantiate public policy, policy and research reviews, and to understand consumer behaviour in complex areas such as the influence of communications and media on consumption, understanding consumption drivers for young and vulnerable people, culture, habits and consumption, ‘decouchification’, and wellness.
What we do
We are a research, consulting and advisory firm with specialised expertise in policy and influence, communications, consumer behaviour, social and economic impact assessments, as well as research methods.
Harvest’s principal, Dr. Rohan Miller, has undertaken expert and sworn testimony in various courts and tribunals in matters relating to traditional and social media, gambling and gaming and alcohol.

How we work
Harvest Advisory and Research (HAR) is led by Dr. Rohan Miller (PhD, MBA, MAcc), who works with a highly credentialled team of experts who are specifically chosen for each project.
Our team combines academic rigour and real-world experience across all our work. We are scenario thinkers who have worked on many wicked and complex problems. We won’t offer you a PR or legal position, but we do provide knowledge, so you have a viable path forward, rather than simply “react to the situation”. We like to consider innovative and less-travelled paths that provide the most objective and effective outcome for our clients.
We believe in Empiricism, Insights, and Integrity – we develop insights based on theory that make sense in the real world, that are supported by evidence.
There is too much junk research out there pretending to support various positions, often quite hypocritically. We provide expert and fully justified opinions for other research or paradigms.
