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 five 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 May 21).
On the strength of 195.6 million TV ad impressions for promos leading up to its June 11 premiere, Claws—what TNT calls “a midnight-dark, wickedly funny meditation on female badness set in a South Florida nail salon”—takes the No. 1 spot.
Crime drama Animal Kingdom, also from TNT, takes second place, moving up from No. 3 last time. Beat Shazam (Fox) and the 2017 Billboard Music Awards (ABC) make repeat appearances in our ranking as well, joined by new entrant Love Connection, the Fox dating show hosted by Andy Cohen, at No. 5.
