Inventory Spotlight: Advertising at Hudson Yards, New York City
Hudson Yards Media
Inventory

New York has no shortage of iconic advertising locations — but few environments combine luxury retail, tourism, architecture, and sustained pedestrian traffic quite like Hudson Yards.
Located on Manhattan’s West Side, Hudson Yards is one of the newest and most architecturally ambitious developments in the United States. The property attracts millions of annual visitors ranging from NYC locals and office professionals to international tourists visiting landmarks like The Vessel and Edge observation deck.
For brands looking to reach a high-value audience in a premium setting, Hudson Yards offers one of the most controlled and visually immersive Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) environments in the country.
Through Vue, advertisers can access 56 total digital units across the property — including large-format video walls and strategically placed kiosks both inside and outside the mall.
The Environment: Why Hudson Yards Matters
Hudson Yards isn’t just another retail center. It functions as a fully integrated urban destination combining:
Luxury shopping and flagship retail
Class A office towers
Fine dining and nightlife
Cultural attractions
Tourist landmarks
High-income residential spaces
Unlike street-level advertising exposed to fragmented attention, Hudson Yards placements benefit from long dwell times. Visitors are walking, shopping, dining, or waiting — creating repeated exposure opportunities that translate into stronger brand recall.
This makes the inventory particularly effective for:
Luxury and fashion brands
Entertainment releases
Technology launches
Travel and hospitality campaigns
Financial and professional services
Large Format Video Walls (Premium Impact Units)
Hudson Yards features five large-format video walls, designed for high-impact storytelling and cinematic creative execution. These placements dominate key pedestrian corridors and retail gathering areas, delivering unavoidable visibility within the property.
Explore each large-format placement:
These screens are ideal for brand launches, awareness campaigns, and moments where scale matters. The architectural integration of the displays allows creative to feel embedded into the space rather than interruptive.
Digital Kiosks Throughout the Property
Complementing the large formats are digital kiosks distributed across Hudson Yards, creating frequency and continuity across the visitor journey.
Inside the Mall
Interior kiosks capture audiences during high-dwell shopping experiences, escalator transitions, and dining areas — moments where viewers naturally slow down.
Exterior Placements Near The Vessel
Outdoor kiosks surrounding The Vessel and surrounding plazas reach some of the highest pedestrian concentrations in the development, including tourists actively photographing and exploring the space.
Together, these placements allow brands to combine:
Impact (video walls)
Frequency (kiosks)
Sequential storytelling across locations
56 Units, One Connected Advertising Environment
Across all formats, Hudson Yards includes 56 digital advertising units working together as a unified media ecosystem.
Advertisers can activate:
Individual premium screens
Multi-screen packages
Property-wide domination strategies
Dayparted or event-driven campaigns
Because the inventory operates digitally, campaigns can be adjusted dynamically — aligning messaging with time of day, audience flow, or broader marketing initiatives.
