The Medtalk difference
People don't enter a waiting room hoping to watch advertising. Medtalk gives them something worth watching first.
Advertising appears inside an experience people have already chosen to watch.
Why healthcare works
A waiting room is one of the last places in modern life where people sit still with nothing to fill the time. Medical has the longest dwell time anywhere on the Shoptalk network, and when a screen earns attention, a health message gets more than a passing glance.

Where Medtalk lives
Healthcare partnerships
Partnerships with the Pharmacy Guild of New Zealand and Awanui Labs give Medtalk national healthcare coverage that can't be assembled site by site.
People tune out when a screen shows nothing but advertising dressed up as entertainment.
Long or sound-dependent content loses the room before it starts.
Medtalk uses short, silent, uplifting content designed to earn attention rather than demand it.
What runs on Medtalk
Every item works silently and gets to the point quickly.
Easy questions that invite people to play along.
Short, positive and suitable for every waiting room.
Useful seasonal and local information from trusted sources.
What we will and won't run
Medtalk is in healthcare spaces because the people who run them trust what appears on screen. Content is G-rated and silent. Advertising is capped at 40% of screen time, so the entertainment stays the main event. We decline anything that doesn't suit the environment, and we work within the Advertising Standards Authority's Therapeutic and Health Advertising Code.
Who should advertise
A national healthcare layer for a broader media plan.
Prescription and consumer health campaigns, within ASA guidelines.
Vaccination, screening, education and behaviour change campaigns.
Products, services, providers and health insurance.
Buy nationwide, by region, environment, venue or time of day, or programmatically through Vistar Media. Tell us the goal and we'll build the plan.
Real screens
These are Medtalk screens in the venues they run in.
Tell us who you need to reach. We'll shape the network, targeting and timing around the campaign, and come back with a plan and a rate.
