something akin to being "bombarded" by commercials on the radio and TV all the time.......as I'm working I listen to the radio and there isn't one decent station that does not have a block of 10 minutes or so without commercials :) I believe this is the idea of "cercar o consumidor" in this context
reach the consumer
"cercar" o consumidor já é mau português.

: Yes, I think "draw in" and "nail down" are very good. "Draw in" if making the option for a "softer" translation, "nail down" if the option is to pass the "aggressivity" of their strategy reflected in the expression "cercar", like "giving no chance".
