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 Oct. 29).
Promos forThe Long Road Home, National Geographic’s “global miniseries event” based on the Martha Raddatz best-seller about the war in Iraq, racked up 370.6 million TV ad impressions, making it our chart-topper. That's a big jump from its tally (208.9 million) in the previous 7-day period. Meanwhile, The Gifted,Fox’s new sci-fi drama from the Marvel universe, makes a strong return to our ranking at No. 2 after an absence last week. Fox also takes fourth place with its 2017 World Series promos.
Two new additions round out our top five: CBS’s Shemar Moore vehicle S.W.A.T., in third place, and HGTV’s Flip or Flop Fort Worth, in fifth. Notably, promos for the latest expansion of the Flip or Flop franchise have the highest iSpot Attention Index (129) in our ranking, getting 29% fewer interruptions than the average promo (interruptions include changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
