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 Aug. 1.
A promo for the Tokyo Summer Olympics, airing across the networks of NBCUniversal, is No. 1 — the third week in a row the Games top Promo Mojo.
With all eyes on NBC, the network takes the opportunity to hype two of its new fall dramas: La Brea in second and Ordinary Joe in fourth. Fellow traditional broadcaster CBS, meanwhile, promotes its summer reality fare — Love Island in third and Big Brother in fifth — helping to crowd out the cable networks that typically dominate our top 5.
Notably, the Tokyo Summer Olympics spot has this week’s highest iSpot Attention Index (122), 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).
