DNA Retains RedChip for Investor Marketing and Mul

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL--(Marketwired - Jan 9, 2017) - DNA Brands Inc. ( OTC PINK : DNAX ) is pleased to announce that it has retained RedChip Companies Inc. (RedChip.com) for investor relations and multimedia marketing.

Stated CEO Adrian McKenzie, "DNA Brands has been making steady progress as we get closer to announcing the relaunch of the DNA Energy Drink Line for 2017. To recap, since mid-December we now have a fully climate controlled office/warehouse facility that will keep our products in a cool stable environment. Our website is undergoing continuous improvements which should be fully functional by the end of the month. DNA has brought onboard RedChip to broaden the reach of the company to the everyday investor. Better known for coverage on higher market cap companies, RedChip's track record of success extends back to 1992."

David Gentry, CEO of RedChip added, "Although we typically do not cover sub-penny stocks, I am aware of the long history of DNA Brands, the fact that the products had already made it to market and the awards the company has received winning 'Best tasting Energy Drink' for two out of three years (2010 and 2012) (World Beverage Competition). Although atypical of the majority of companies we cover, I believe this is a unique opportunity to initiate coverage on a company that has already demonstrated its ability to grow and scale their brand."

McKenzie concluded, "Leaving the past behind and looking ahead to the future I want to reemphasize as I have stated several times before that there is no planned Reverse Split on the table. I am working with and for my shareholders and creditors on a step-by-step basis to bring value back to the DNA Brands name. Along with the aid of my recently hired consultant, we are anticipating positive developments to occur moving forward. One of the most recent of these actions that I am very proud of is that of retaining the very reputable RedChip to spearhead our investor relations efforts. Over the course of January, as the build out is occurring at our new office, I will take the opportunity to get up to Orlando and begin production with the RedChip team."
