Be seen. Be local. Be part of Kingston’s creative future.

Right outside FUSEBOX, on Kingston’s vibrant riverside, our two portrait digital screens sit along one of the town’s busiest pedestrian walkways. Every day, thousands of commuters, shoppers, families, students and tourists pass by – and your brand can be right there with them.

Advertising with Creative Youth doesn’t just boost your visibility – it helps support young creatives aged 5–30 through our year-round artistic programmes and opportunities.
