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 Sept. 6.
On the strength of 248.6 million TV ad impressions, a promo for Discovery and its siblings — including HGTV, Food Network, OWN and Investigation Discovery (“Whatever you’re into,” an announcer declares, “it’s on the Discovery family of networks”) — tops our chart.
With the exception of NBC, which stirs up some excitement for new fall drama Transplant in second place, our ranking is filled with more cable networks: MTV in third for Teen Mom 2, Disney Channel in fourth for a bunch of its shows including Amphibia and Jessie, and ID in fifth for Crimes Gone Viral.
Notably, the Crimes Gone Viral spot has the highest iSpot Completion Rate (98.85) 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).
