Data Shows GEICO's New Sloth Spot Leads Weekly Media Impressions On Sports TV

GEICO's "Game Night With a Sloth" spot generated 141.7 million media impressions from Oct. 30-Nov. 5 in U.S. households across national linear (live and time-shifted), VOD, OTT and local TV, according to an analysis by THE DAILY of data provided by real-time TV ad attention analytics company iSpot.tv. That was the most of any of the 240 ads that debuted during sports programming that week. Southwest's "Behind Every Seat is a Story: Grandma" ad, which debuted on the final day of this study and ran only during NFL games on NBC, CBS and Fox, saw just 6.6% of viewers interrupt the ad for any reason, the best rate of any of the week's debuts..
