OREANDA-NEWS. September 02, 2016. Deluxe Corporation will be featured in CNBC’s “Cleveland Hustles,” a new primetime reality show about small business.

In “Cleveland Hustles,” four aspiring local entrepreneurs will be given the chance to realize their own dreams while also helping to revitalize a neighborhood in Cleveland. If successful, these businesses will provide jobs and services in an underserved neighborhood.

“Through our synergistic partnership with Deluxe, our teams were able to give back to the city of Cleveland, deepening the revitalization and growth within this passionate community,” said

Tom Clendenin, SVP marketing, CNBC.

“Being part of ‘Cleveland Hustles’ is really a natural extension of the work Deluxe has been doing with the Small Business Revolution on Main Street,” explained

Amanda Brinkman, chief brand and communications officer for Deluxe. “We are teaching small business owners that marketing does not have to be scary and that it can be the difference between success and failure for small businesses. You do not have to invest a lot of money in marketing but you have to do it right.”

This opportunity allowed Deluxe to showcase the company’s small business marketing services and products, including social media marketing, email marketing, logo creation and more. Brinkman is featured in one of the eight episodes where she lends marketing advice to one of the businesses to help better position their products for consumer sale. CNBC is also creating digital branded content segments featuring Deluxe providing marketing advice to several other businesses, which will appear on CNBC.com throughout the season.

Deluxe has been showcasing their love of small business through the Small Business Revolution project since early 2015. This fall, Deluxe will release a new online series that chronicles efforts to help revitalize the downtown area of Wabash, Ind., the first winner of the Small Business Revolution on Main Street contest. Wabash beat out thousands of small towns across the country to receive a \\$500,000 revitalization from Deluxe.

Deluxe and Brinkman will be featured during episode six of “Cleveland Hustles” airing Wednesday, Sept. 28, at 10PM ET/PT. The series airs Wednesdays at 10PM ET/PT on CNBC. To learn more, go to HustlesEncore.CNBC.com.
