B&C has partnered with always-on TV ad measurement and attribution company iSpot.tv to bring you a weekly chart we call Promo Mojo: exclusive data showing the top five TV promos ranked by ad impressions. Our data covers the seven-day period through Nov. 29.
On the strength of 249.4 million TV ad impressions, an ABC promo for new drama Big Sky tops our chart.
The other traditional broadcaster in the ranking, CBS, promotes its Monday-night lineup of shows, including The Neighborhood and All Rise, in fourth place. Meanwhile, cable networks also serve up multi-purpose spots: Discovery and its siblings (including Animal Planet and Food Network) promote a range of programming in second place, and Freeform hypes some of the movies that are part of its 25 Days of Christmas marathon in third.
Closing out the chart: Hallmark, which gives some love to Hallmark original movie If I Only Had Christmas.
Notably, the Hallmark spot has the highest iSpot Attention Index (128) in our ranking, meaning viewers were on average highly likely to watch it all the way through (vs. interrupting it by changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
