Hunter Fan

Adding to a Legacy of Innovation

Hunter Fan partnered with Sagepath Reply to modernize its digital presence and strengthen demand generation across both B2B and B2C audiences. As digital agency of record, Sagepath Reply helped translate the brand’s long-standing reputation for quality and innovation into a more effective omnichannel experience designed to drive awareness, qualified leads, and revenue growth.


The Challenge

Facing increased competition, Hunter Fan needed to expand and elevate its digital presence to differentiate the brand, attract a broader audience, and improve sales performance. The business also needed a more connected marketing and digital ecosystem that could support both brand storytelling and conversion across channels.

The Solution

After research, stakeholder input, and customer analysis, Sagepath Reply created a more conversion-focused digital experience across the website, media, social, SEO/SEM, and content marketing channels. The work included new brand messaging, improved landing pages, integrated marketing platforms, and real-time dashboards to strengthen lead generation, attribution, and performance visibility.

A New Look for Next-Generation Technologies

Hunter’s differentiating technologies, SureSpeed and WeatherMax, needed to stand out and be recognizable as unique offerings in the marketplace. This new brand and badge system went through research, design, and extensive consumer testing to make sure these sought-after technologies were quickly and easily identifiable throughout the ecommerce and in-store experiences.

Flipping the Switch for Conversion

Omni-channel digital marketing enabled Hunter’s B2C team to determine the most effective levers for driving traffic, engagement, and conversion. Our team redesigned and implemented campaign landing pages to generate increased leads and improve marketing attribution.

Tracking the Temp of Consumer Interest

Consumer insights were delivered through custom, real-time marketing dashboards to track successes across the customer journey. This transformed the way the business strategized and reported against each stage of the customer lifecycle – from initial canvas and research through the purchase and post-purchase phases.

The Impact

The result is a more rewarding and seamless user experience that helps customers find the right boat more easily and engage with MarineMax more confidently. By combining stronger search tools, localized content, and richer product storytelling, the new platform created a more connected digital hub for the brand and its boating communities.
