Benchmade Presents: HuntTheWeb.com

Turning a simple media buy into a one-of-a-kind digital hunting experience

What started as a small ask (a few banner ads tied to a media buy) turned into the biggest hunt of the season. Rooted in customer insights and built to resonate with real hunters, HuntTheWeb evolved into an immersive, gamified online hunting challenge designed to test real-world instincts like wit, patience, and strategy. Every step of the way gave Benchmade’s core audience a chance to earn bragging rights and score some sweet swag.

The result? Customers were hooked, and the numbers spoke for themselves.

Social Engagement

  • Hunt the Web was incredible, BTW. Cole and Weber, Kendra and the Benchmade team crushed it. The participation, engagement and resulting conversations between participants (the ultimate) was world class. Something the industry has never seen and C&W dreamt it all up. Truly innovative, disruptive and unique.
