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 March 7.
On the strength of 279.4 million TV ad impressions, an NBC promo for new sci-fi drama Debris takes first place for the second week in a row.
Cable networks dominate our ranking this time, with Food Network taking second place to promote Tournament of Champions, HGTV taking third to build excitement for Rock the Block, and Disney grabbing fifth to serve up a general network promo titled “Show Us Your Skills” that uses some of its on-air talent in a PSA-style ad.
Besides NBC, the other traditional broadcaster to make our cut is Fox, which takes fourth place to hype The Masked Singer.
Notably, the Fox spot has the highest iSpot Attention Index (158) 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).
