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 5 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 7-day period through Jan. 14).
NBC grabs the top spot on our chart with its promos for the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, which racked up just over 479.7 million TV ad impressions — the closest that promos for any programming have come to hitting the half-billion mark (over 7 days) in the history of this chart.
Meanwhile, Investigation Discovery’s Jodi Arias: An American Murder Mystery makes an impressive debut in second place with nearly 404 million TV ad impressions. Notably, promos for Jodi Arias scored the highest iSpot Attention Index (143) in our ranking, getting 43% fewer interruptions than the average promo (interruptions include changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
Our No. 4 finisher last time, TNT’s The Alienist, moves up a spot to No. 3, while Fox’s 9-1-1, previously No. 2, slips to No. 5. And Fox lands another slot in our ranking with new medical drama The Resident in fourth place.
