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 Aug. 16.
On the strength of 477.2 million TV ad impressions, a Discovery promo for Shark Week is No. 1 for the second week in a row. The network also takes third place to promote new show Dodgeball Thunderdome, while in fourth place Discovery and its sister networks — including HGTV, Food Network, OWN and TLC — get some love (“Whatever you’re into, it’s on the Discovery family of networks,” an announcer says).
Rounding out the ranking: MTV, which plugs the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards in second place, and TLC, which hypes new reality series Darcey & Stacey in fifth.
Notably, the Dodgeball Thunderdome spot has the highest iSpot Attention Score (96.07) in our ranking, meaning viewers were on average more 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).
