As Vivid Sydney 2024 kicks off, QMS is embracing the celebration of creativity, innovation and technology with a powerful collection of advertisers for the annual festival of lights.
QMS’ world-leading City of Sydney digital street furniture network will proudly showcase campaigns from brands including Kia Australia, Visit Victoria, Foxtel Hubbl, Kayo, Universal Pictures, Chemist Warehouse, AAMI, Coca-Cola, Sony Pictures, Omega, Medibank, Rimowa, Aware Super, Vicinity Centres, Live Nation and Audible.
The 14th annual Vivid Sydney festival runs from today (24 May) to 15 June and will fuse some of the most innovative light installations with boundary-pushing artists, thinkers, musicians and culinary experts around, all united by this year’s artistic direction: “Vivid Sydney, Humanity”.
QMS’ bespoke advertising packages will place clients in key Vivid precincts during the festival, which is expecting another strong year following the record numbers seen last year.
The 2023 festival drew almost 3.5 million people to Sydney—up 30% from 2022—and contributed more than $200 million to the NSW economy.
“We are excited to celebrate this year’s Vivid Sydney festival with the community and a stellar line-up of advertisers who will be – literally – lighting up the streets,” said QMS general manager, City of Sydney, Olivia Gotch.

“This year, we’re expecting some brilliant, contextually relevant campaigns that take advantage of the event themes and incremental audiences,” she said.
“Vivid Sydney is an important partnership for the Kia brand to showcase our technology story and the QMS City of Sydney network provides a bespoke solution to extend our campaign reach and impact,” said Kia Australia’s general manager of marketing, Dean Norbiato.
