RTD Strong | Support For Brands Affected By The RNDC Bankruptcy

A Message From RTD Magazine

Following the RNDC (Republic National Distributing Company) bankruptcy filing, many RTD brands are facing serious financial uncertainty through no fault of their own. RTD Magazine can't replace lost revenue, but we can help affected brands maintain some visibility during a difficult time. If your brand has been materially affected by the RNDC bankruptcy, please contact RTD Magazine to learn if your brand may qualify for RTD Strong visibility assistance.

Our Commitment

RTD Strong reflects RTD Magazine's commitment to supporting the ready-to-drink cocktail industry during periods of significant disruption. While every situation is different, our goal remains the same: helping great brands maintain visibility when they need it most. RTD Strong is intended to complement the resilience, innovation, and determination that continue to drive the ready-to-drink cocktail industry forward.

RTD Strong Visibility Assistance

Complimentary press release publishing on RTD Magazine's website is always available to all brands, as is a complimentary standard listing in our new ReadyToDrinkCocktails.com RTD Cocktail Directory.

Eligible brands affected by the RNDC bankruptcy may also qualify for the following assistance:

  • Complimentary LinkedIn promotion of their RTD Magazine press release to increase visibility among industry professionals, distributors, retailers, and potential partners.
  • Consideration for press release inclusion in the RTD Magazine newsletter (space permitting).
  • Complimentary LinkedIn promotion highlighting their ReadyToDrinkCocktails.com product listings to increase product discovery. 
  • Consideration for additional RTD Strong visibility initiatives as they become available.

Brands approved for RTD Strong assistance may also receive preferred introductory pricing on select RTD Magazine promotional opportunities should they choose to expand their visibility. Promotional participation is entirely optional, and there is no obligation to purchase any promotional services in order to receive assistance.

Eligibility

RTD Strong is intended to support brands experiencing genuine hardship as a result of extraordinary industry events. RTD Magazine reserves the right to approve, modify, or decline assistance based on available resources, eligibility, and editorial discretion.

RTD Magazine may request reasonable documentation to verify that a brand has been materially affected by the RNDC bankruptcy. Any information provided will be kept confidential and used solely to determine eligibility for RTD Strong assistance.
