University of Dayton Flyer Pitch

How CXO became the trusted marketing partner for one of Ohio’s top collegiate pitch competitions.

Flyer Pitch, hosted by the University of Dayton, is one of the Midwest’s premier startup competitions—featuring a wide range of ventures, including education and impact-driven businesses. For years, the program struggled to provide finalists with the branding and marketing polish they needed to present professionally at the national level.

That’s where CXO came in—offering in-kind marketing support that transformed how finalists showed up to investors, panels, and funding partners.

What we did.

Delivered custom branding packages for finalists—logos, brand palettes, and visual assets that helped them stand out.
Designed pitch decks and slide templates aligned with each business’s goals and story.
Consulted directly with participants and university staff to align branding with finalist needs, program goals, and competition deadlines.
Provided fast-turnaround creative support—proving we could move at the speed of college entrepreneurship.
