Advertising in CITY

CITY, Melbourne's weekly magazine, is read by people who work, shop or reside in Melbourne's CBD.

The magazine leads the way revealing what is hot in the city. From fashion to bars to events, CITY is there. It is topical, entertaining and informative. Distribution points throughout Melbourne are to major shopping centres, cafés, bars and restaurants as well as a majority of the residential apartments in the CBD, St Kilda Road, Southbank and Docklands. 

CITY is also distributed at major city train stations in morning peak hours where it is handed out to commuters by vibrant CITY distributors. The magazine is often read on trains, trams, in local eateries and taken into the work place to be read by co-workers, before making its way back to people's homes.
