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 Feb. 21.
On the strength of nearly 253 million TV ad impressions, an ABC promo for American Idol takes first place — the second week in a row the singing competition has topped our chart. And once again, CBS lands in second place with a Clarice promo.
Cable networks round out our ranking, with MTV hyping Floribama Shore in third, FX promoting Snowfall in fourth, and USA giving Temptation Island some love in fifth.
Notably, the Snowfall spot has the highest iSpot Attention Index (109) 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).
