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 December 12.
A Hallmark Channel spot for its original movie A Royal Queens Christmas takes first place, while Freeform grabs second to promote its 25 Days of Christmas programming marathon. This marks the second week in a row the two networks are No. 1 and No. 2, in the same order.
Hallmark Channel actually dominates the top five overall — also taking fourth and fifth place to hype, respectively, Sister Swap: Christmas in the City and A Dickens of a Holiday!
Once again, the only regular series that gets some love in the top five: Ghosts, the CBS sitcom, in third place (up from fourth place last time).
Notably, the Freeform spot has the week’s highest iSpot Attention Index (114), 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).
