It all started when Eliza McKay-Smith from Sheffield wrote a few short words of inspiration to help spread a little love.

After deciding she wanted to share the message with others, her mum Isabelle was determined to make her daughter’s wish come true.

That’s where Chesterfield-based CNS Media come in.

The marketing agency were so touched by the story after Isabelle got in touch to ask for their help in spreading the message, they enrolled the services of Anco Digital, who operate an advertising screen on Sheffield Parkway, which is seen by thousands of commuters daily.

Within hours, Eliza’s words were being beamed to motorists on one of Sheffield’s busiest roads used by thousands of commuters daily.

The inspirational message reads: “Try to be happy. Be Kind. Try not to fall over. Don’t forget your keys.”

It is signed “Eliza, age 5 from Greystones in Sheffield.”

Posting on social media, Isabelle joked: “Putting her pictures on the fridge just isn’t going to cut it anymore.”

Before she created her message, Eliza told her mum: "I want to make a poster to go up in the middle of town where lots of people will see it, to make them happy and help them.”

She has certainly done that.
