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 Jan. 10.
On the strength of 351.7 million TV ad impressions, an NBC promo for the Ted Danson sitcom Mr. Mayor takes first place.
Traditional broadcast networks also grab the next three slots in our ranking, with CBS hyping Clarice in second and Fox promoting Prodigal Son in third as well as 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star in fourth. Closing out the top 5: an NFL promo — in partnership with CBS, Fox, NBC and ESPN — for NFL Football.
Notably, the NFL spot has the highest iSpot Attention Index (138) 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).
