Absolutely - yes.

RabbitMQ has a model based on queues, which buffer (and optionally
persist) messages on behalf of subscribers.  So when you publish a
message to a RabbitMQ broker, it will be placed on one or more queues
based on really simple filtering rules:

- In the simplest case you can copy a message to *every* queue in the
broker.  This is called 'fan out'.
- Or, you can give each message a 'routing key', and then the broker
will use this key to determine which queues to place the message on
- You can also enable richer routing patterns

We're here to help so please can you tell us a bit more about what
kind of 'subscribed clients' you plan to use.  Also - what language
are you writing your code in?  There are plenty of clients but it
would be good to know which one you wish to use.

There is some documentation here: http://www.rabbitmq.com/documentation.html

Here is an introduction that may help:
