The Showdown Story
How a 30-day challenge in 2007 became the operating model for an omni-channel marketing agency.
The 2007 origin story
The year was 2007. We walked into a meeting to hear that the prospect's current vendor was rocking it — everything was going well, no pain points to address. After taking a deep dive into their business, we identified a long list of areas we could improve. So we proposed a SHOWDOWN.
The challenge
- • Shift $10,000 of used-car advertising budget from the existing vendor to Showdown.
- • Run head-to-head for 30 days.
- • If Showdown outperformed, it kept the business.
- • If Showdown lost, the client paid nothing.
The result
Showdown outperformed the incumbent vendor, kept the account, and absorbed the client's entire digital budget within 90 days. The format — pay only if we outperform — became the company name and the standard way new client relationships start.
Showdown today
That same proof-of-performance discipline still drives every engagement. Today Showdown Marketing runs omni-channel campaigns — search, display, social, and video — for clients who want to see exactly where every advertising dollar goes and how it affects sales. Are you up for a SHOWDOWN?
