Our take:
While significantly behind their preposterously aggressive deployment plans from a few years ago, LevelVision has managed to buck the trend (so far) and continue expansion of their in-store media network to a very reasonable number of locations. We attribute this largely to their strict focus on campus bookstores, which allows them to hone their sales message and concentrate their advertiser focus on a few key brands and markets. Additionally, they're able to provide far more specific group targeting simply thanks to the nature of the typical patron of these stores.
