B&C has partnered with attention and conversion analytics company iSpot.tv to bring you a weekly chart we call Promo Mojo: exclusive data showing the top five TV promos ranked by TV ad impressions. These are the shows networks have been promoting most heavily to drive tune-in (our data covers the seven-day period through Feb. 11).
For the third week in a row, NBC grabs the top spot on our chart with its promos for the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, which racked up nearly 728 million TV ad impressions over seven days. Celebrity Big Brother (CBS) takes second place, pushing last week’s No. 2, The Alienist (TNT), to third place. HGTV’s Home Town also shifts down a spot, from fourth to fifth, while Discovery debuts in our ranking at No. 4 with a promo for Motor Mega Week, a cross-series extravaganza that starts on Feb. 26.
Notably, Motor Mega Week scores the highest iSpot Attention Index (149) in our ranking, getting 49% fewer interruptions than the average promo (interruptions include changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
