Become a Sponsor
Put your brand in front of rye whiskey enthusiasts.
Sponsor the exact pages your customers already read — recipes, guides, and reviews on RyeCentral.com. One curated logo per category, on a clean editorial strip.
The audience, by the numbers
Real, growing traffic on a single-subject site — and you're getting in at the founding stage.
Traffic: RyeCentral site analytics — 10,857 visits and 10,055 unique readers in the 30 days to 1 August 2026, up from 3,736 visits the previous 30 days. Founding-stage and climbing.
Who reads RyeCentral
Not a broad, low-intent crowd — a defined, professional, spend-ready audience.

Why sponsor RyeCentral
A small, on-topic placement in front of an audience that's actually paying attention.
A premium, high-intent audience
Rye and cocktail enthusiasts tend to be affluent, curious, and brand-loyal — people who invest in quality and notice the brands around it.
Never crowded — four sponsors max
Your logo sits in a small, curated set of up to four per page, one brand per category — never buried in a wall of ads.
Category exclusivity
One brand per category on each page, so a direct competitor can never sit right beside you.
Growing search presence
RyeCentral keeps climbing the rankings across rye reviews, cocktail recipes, and guides — putting your brand in front of people actively searching.
An engaged community
Mixologist profiles, member reviews, and a tasting community bring readers back again and again — not just passing through.
Editorial, not retail
We don't sell alcohol directly — we point readers to online and local retail partners, so your placement lives inside trusted content, not a checkout funnel.
Independent, unbiased reviews
Community-scored, with no pay-to-play on the editorial itself — credibility that carries over to the brands featured alongside it.
Perfectly on-topic placement
Every page is about whiskey and cocktails, so you're never paying for off-target impressions.
Exactly what you're buying
One clean, curated strip — up to four logos, one per category, each normalized to a single warm-white ink so no brand shouts over another.

How seats & placement work
One brand per category, per page
Each page shows up to four sponsor logos — one per category. You hold your category's seat exclusively on every page you choose.
Graduated seat cost
Standard pages cost 1 seat; premium/flagship recipes and review pages cost 2. Your seats stretch across as many pages as you can cover.
You only see what's open
Your portal shows only pages currently available to your category — never ones that are full, taken in your category, or off-limits to you.
Change any time
Release a page and claim a different one whenever you like. Upgrade for more seats, or add single pages à la carte.
Sponsor categories
You're assigned one category — the brand worlds our readers care about.
Our reviews stay independent
Sponsorship never influences a rating, ranking, or word of our editorial. To protect that trust, competing whiskey & spirits brands and retailers can't appear on our rye review pages — though they're welcome across our recipe and guide pages. Every other category is welcome everywhere.
Questions
Do I choose my own pages?
Yes. After you subscribe and we set up your category and logo, you log into your sponsor portal and pick exactly which pages to appear on — and swap them whenever you like.
What happens to my logo?
We convert it to our uniform warm-white "single-ink" house style so the strip looks curated and no sponsor visually dominates. Send your best transparent PNG or SVG.
What if I cancel?
Cancel any time from your account. Your seats are released back to the pool. If a payment fails, we hold your pages for 30 days before releasing them, so a card hiccup never costs you your spots.
Are these prices permanent?
These are founding rates. We honor them for early sponsors as a thank-you; future pricing may differ as our audience grows.
Sponsorship terms
By subscribing to a RyeCentral Page Sponsorship plan you agree to the following. These are plain-language summary terms for the founding program.
1. Subscription & billing
- Plans bill monthly and auto-renew until cancelled. Prices are the founding rates shown above and may change for new sponsors or future renewal periods with notice.
- You may cancel any time via your account; cancellation stops future billing and releases all of your seats. Past payments are non-refundable.
- If a payment fails, your pages are held for 30 days; if payment isn't resolved, your seats are released.
2. Placement & seats
- Your plan grants a number of seats. Standard pages cost 1 seat; premium and review pages cost 2. Each page displays at most four sponsor logos, one per category.
- You are assigned a single brand category and may only occupy your category's seat on a given page. Pages are first-come, first-served and may become unavailable.
- RyeCentral may reasonably adjust the set of sponsorable pages, tiers, and seat costs over time.
3. Logos & content
- You grant RyeCentral a license to display your brand name and logo on sponsored pages for the duration of your subscription, and to normalize the logo to our house style.
- You confirm you have the right to use the logo and brand assets you provide. Sponsored content must be lawful and not misleading.
4. Editorial independence & eligibility
- Sponsorship confers no influence over RyeCentral's editorial, reviews, ratings, or rankings.
- Competing whiskey/spirits brands and retailers are not eligible to appear on rye review pages. RyeCentral may decline or remove any sponsor or placement at its discretion, including for brand-fit or legal reasons, with a pro-rated release of affected seats.
- RyeCentral makes no guarantee of traffic, impressions, clicks, or commercial results.
These summary terms are a starting draft and are not legal advice. Final terms are subject to RyeCentral's full Terms of Service. Questions? support@ryecentral.com
