B&C has partnered with attention and conversion analytics company iSpot.tv to bring you a weekly chart we call Promo Mojo: Exclusive data showing the top five TV promos ranked by TV ad impressions. These are the shows networks have been promoting most heavily to drive tune-in (our data covers the 7-day period through July 30).
On the strength of 281.6 million TV ad impressions for promos leading up to its Aug. 1 premiere, Discovery’s Manhunt: Unabomber takes the top spot on the chart for the second week in a row. The tally is actually way up week-over-week; in the previous 7-day period Manhunt promos had 167.6 million impressions.
With the exception of Discovery’s Shark Week cross-promotion with Volkswagen in third place (Shark Week programming was in second place last time), the rest of our chart sees new entrants: USA Network’s The Sinner at No. 2, Cartoon Network’s OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes at No. 4 and A&E’s Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath at No. 5.
