Turning Chief Everything Officers into Chief Executive Officers

University of Dayton Flyer Pitch

Client Overview

Flyer Pitch is one of the largest collegiate business competitions in the country, hosted by the University of Dayton, supporting startups with funding, mentorship, and exposure.

Challenge

While winning startups walked away with cash prizes and coaching, many lacked the branding and marketing foundation needed to bring their ideas to life. They needed expert help turning their pitch into a real, market-ready business.

CXO Solution

For the past five consecutive years, CXO has served as a proud sponsor of Flyer Pitch, providing free, in-kind marketing services to a select group of top-performing startups. Through our fractional executive model, we embed a CMO or Brand Director into the startup's journey, helping them clarify their messaging, build their brand, and prep for launch.

From there, our creative specialists design custom brand kits, pitch decks, websites, and digital strategies to help these founders move from idea to execution with confidence and credibility.

Results:

  • Dozens of startups have received professional branding and marketing support at no cost
  • Several Flyer Pitch alumni have transitioned into full-paying CXO clients as they grow
  • Strengthened CXO’s local presence and reputation as a startup ecosystem partner in Dayton

It's time to put your growth plans into action.

You’ve got the vision—we’ll bring the leadership, support, and execution to make it a reality.
