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 7-day period through May 16.
On the strength of nearly 354 million TV ad impressions, an MTV promo for the 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards tops our chart for the second week in a row.
Hallmark Channel is right behind it in second place, hyping the “spellbinding new season” of fantasy comedy-drama Good Witch. Laughter also gets some love in fourth place, where Nickelodeon promotes a variety of its comedies including Drama Club and Side Hustle.
Rounding out the list are promos for reality fare: TLC takes third for 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? and HGTV grabs fifth for Home Town Takeover.
Notably, the 90 Day Fiancé spot has this week’s highest iSpot Attention Index (123), 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).
