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 Sept. 12.
An MTV promo for the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards tops our ranking. This marks the third week in a row at No. 1 for the TV tentpole, which aired on Sunday.
The rest of our top five is dominated by Fox, which hypes new drama Our Kind of People in second place, the new season of 9-1-1 in fourth, and new musical comedy-drama The Big Leap in fifth. NBC rounds out the ranking with a promo for new drama Ordinary Joe in third.
Notably, the 9-1-1 spot has this week’s highest iSpot Attention Index (137), 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).
