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 Jan. 17.
On the strength of 392.7 million TV ad impressions, a Fox promo for 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star takes first place. Fox also pops up in an NFL promo — along with NBC and CBS — for NFL Football divisional playoff games in third.
CBS grabbing fourth place to hype The Equalizer means that traditional broadcast networks have the edge in our top 5. Rounding out the ranking: cable nets CNN and TNT, which promote, respectively, Lincoln: Divided We Stand in second and Snowpiercer in fifth.
Notably, the CNN spot has the highest iSpot Attention Index (116) 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).
