We believe advertising can create healthier online spaces

That’s why we’re helping advertisers support youth mental health—by aligning with expert-validated content that builds resilience and digital well-being, while driving stronger campaign performance.

Why it Matters

By aligning advertising with values that matter, we aim to support safer, healthier digital environments for young people, while strengthening both brand trust and performance.

60%

Over 60% of Gen Z follow at least one creator promoting well-being.

We’re doing this in three ways

We’ve curated 5,500 expert validated, positive inclusion lists of content that foster resilience, wellness, and digital well-being—giving advertisers a way to support positive content while still driving performance.

We’re working with academics and youth mental health specialists to review and validate these inclusion lists—ensuring they reflect credible standards, evidence-based practices, and expert insights.

We’re also collaborating with nonprofits, advocates, and academics to raise the visibility of educational content that drives awareness and supports youth well-being.

Young people deserve safe and suitable digital spaces that support their mental health and well-being. At Channel Factory, we have both the capability and commitment to help make that happen.
