The first half of 2019 is officially over, so we have taken some time to examine some of the commercials that have received the most attention according to our Attention Index, which measures the propensity of consumers to interrupt “ad play” on a second by second basis. Because iSpot measures TV ads at scale, we have the ability to show advertisers how creatives rank against their industry average. Interruptions include changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV, and the higher the score, the better.
Note: The data below does not include network promos, and all of the commercials listed have generated at least 2.58B TV Ad Impressions from Jan. 1 through Jun. 30.
