Centennial College has signed a deal with LynkMedia to install an interactive telephone kiosk on campus. The kiosk utilizes a touch screen that allows students to retrieve and send emails, access advertiser websites and, yes, even make free local phone calls. The system combines magazine, place-based and interactive media in one, says Liliane Vidicek, president of LynkMedia. ‘It’s a very interactive screen because students can email a product from an advertiser ‘s website to themselves.’ Vidicek says she’s currently in talks with other colleges and universities to install the kiosks, and is on the verge of signing major brands as advertisers. A similar kiosk was installed by LynkMedia at Vaughn Sports Village last week. Ad rates are approximately $300 for one month.
