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. 30.
On the strength of 947 million TV ad impressions, an MTV promo for the 2020 Video Music Awards is No. 1 for the second week in a row.
Two traditional broadcasters make our cut, with NBC drumming up excitement for new medical drama Transplant in second place and CBS hyping the return of Love Island in fifth, while in third place Discovery and its siblings — including HGTV, Food Network, OWN and Investigation Discovery — promote a range of lifestyle programming (“Whatever you’re into, it’s on the Discovery family of networks,” an announcer says). ID also takes fourth place to promote The 93 Victims of Samuel Little.
