  • The nomination recognizes the ‘HI-CHEW x Fortnite: Immerse Yourself in Flavor’ campaign, a partnership with Carmichael Lynch.
  • The campaign created a playable HI-CHEW universe within Fortnite, generating 3.87 million plays and a peak concurrent user count of 8,196.
  • The campaign demonstrated a performance increase of over 1,000% compared to non-branded alternatives.

The big picture

Super League's recognition by the Webby Awards underscores the growing importance of immersive brand experiences within the gaming ecosystem. As brands increasingly seek to reach the 3.5 billion-person global gaming population, Super League's ability to deliver high-engagement campaigns like the HI-CHEW integration positions it as a key player in this expanding market. The 1,000% performance increase relative to alternatives suggests a significant premium for Super League's specialized services.

What we're watching

Campaign Scalability
The success of the HI-CHEW campaign demonstrates a model for brand integration within gaming environments; the question is whether Super League can replicate this success with other clients and platforms.
Creator Ecosystem
Super League’s creation of a ‘creator incubator’ for permanent gaming content could become a key differentiator, but its long-term profitability and reliance on external creators warrants monitoring.
Award Impact
While a Webby Award nomination is positive, the actual win (or People’s Voice Award) could significantly impact Super League’s brand perception and potentially drive new business opportunities.
