Skyrizi was the top Rx and over-the-counter (OTC) pharma brand advertising on TV in 2024, according to data released by iSpot.tv on Thursday afternoon.

AbbVie’s psoriasis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease and psoriatic arthritis drug had an impressions share of voice (SOV) of 4.14% throughout the year, with 27.3 billion impressions in total.

The brand received most of its impressions from NBC and benefited from the continued reach of NFL broadcasts.

Skyrizi had an estimated national TV ad spend of $367.7 million — the highest ad spend of any brand in the top 10.

During 2024, Skyrizi was named the top Rx and OTC for TV advertising in Q2 and Q3 as well as the months of July and August.

Even in months where it was overtaken by Procter and Gamble’s Vicks, Sanofi and Regeneron’s Dupixent or fellow AbbVie brand Rinvoq, it was consistently near the top of the rankings.

Finishing in second place for the full year was Dupixent, which recorded an impressions SOV of 4.07% and 26.8 billion impressions.

The eczema and asthma treatment was also the top brand in both April and May. It spent an estimated $276 million on national TV advertising, enjoying its greatest success on ABC thanks to its flagship evening news program, ABC World News Tonight With David Muir.

In the third spot was Rinvoq, which had an impressions SOV of 3.38% and 22.3 billion impressions on $337.8 million in estimated spending. The ulcerative colitis, arthritis and eczema treatment topped the rankings in March and received most of its impressions from NBC.

Rounding out the top five were Vicks and Otsuka’s Rexulti, with 21.5 billion impressions and 15.6 billion impressions, respectively.

Vicks started off the year strong, claiming the pharma ad crown in January and February before rising to the top again from October through December as cold and flu season gets underway.

The bottom half of the rankings included Reckitt’s Mucinex, Johnson & Johnson’s Tremfya, Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy, Haleon’s Advil and AstraZeneca’s Breztri Aerosphere. Advil had the lowest estimated national TV ad spend at $45 million.

Looking at the trends that dominated 2024, iSpot noted that news programming delivered the widest overall reach for the pharma industry.

Evening news broadcasts from ABC and NBC remain reliable impression generators, though both saw slight year-over-year decreases in impressions

Additionally, ABC’s Good Morning America — which ranked fourth for impressions SOV — grew the industry’s reach by 2.5% year-over-year.

Though Fox News’ Hannity experienced a 98% year-over-year increase in impressions, it ranked lower than other news programming for industry reach.

Outside of news programming, pharma benefited from live sports, too.

MLB broadcasts led the way with a 77% increase in impressions year-over-year, followed by college football at 47%, the NBA at 43%, college basketball at 33% and the NFL at 20%.

The data indicated that although primetime programming provided 2.7% more reach than daytime programming, it came at over twice the cost for pharma brands.

The top daytime offerings included The Price Is Right, The Young and the Restless, Let’s Make a Deal and The View.

For bargain hunting media buyers, a few cable networks delivered wide reach at lower price tags. These included MSNBC, ION, CNN, TV Land and Oxygen.

HCG: Accelerating the impact of your science

The song grew faint and louder again, then ceased, and she took her hand off his arm. "By-and-by the Tartars did come in reality, and the signal was sent out again. But this time no army came, nor did a single general turn his face to Pekin. The city fell into the hands of the invaders, and they are there to-day. So much for what a woman did; but it sounds too much like the story of 'The Boy and the Wolf' to be true. I stood equally amazed and alert. The voices still growled in the next room, and my horse's bridle still hung before the window. I peered out; there stood the priceless beast. I came a sly step nearer, and lo! in his shadow, flattened against the house, face outward, was Coralie Rothvelt comically holding the forked stick at a present-arms. Throbbing with a grateful, craving allegiance, I seized the rein. Then I bent low out the window and with my free hand touched her face as it turned upward into a beam of moonlight. She pressed my fingers to her lips, and then let me draw her hand as far as it could come and cover it with kisses. Then she drew me down and whispered "You'll do what I've asked?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:бк "Meanwhile the clouds were gathering around you. Prout finds your husband's brother by a happy chance. Once he has done this, things become easy for us. The more easy they become for us the more desperate they grow for you. Then you decide that you must recover those notes from Isidore. You take out your motor car, so cunningly disguised in blacklead----" it makes the fourth time. No doubt about it, Daddy, goods are not High in the air, in the first mausoleum, at the head and foot of the white marble cenotaph, covered with letters that look like creepers, are tablets bearing inscriptions which record the life of the hero; and above the sarcophagus rises an almost impossibly light and airy structureбкa canopy of white marble supported on columns as slender as flower-stems. And the Indian may be trusted to know of these. Here where the jacales clustered, there was grass and wood and water that might last indefinitely. The fortifications of Nature had been added to those of Nature's man. It was a stronghold. "Certainly," said the Surgeon, stopping on his way. "I guess I can spare a minute. Take off that bandage, my boy." MRS. GORDON: Not those poor things. They're slaves. He left the post with a great oath in his heart, and a thin trickle of blood on his chin. That summer old Mrs. Backfield became completely bedridden. The gratefulness of sunshine to her old bones was counteracted by the clammy fogs that streamed up every night round the farm. It was an exceptionally wet and misty summerбкa great deal of Reuben's wheat rotted in the ground, and he scarcely took any notice when Tilly announced one morning that grandmother was too ill to come downstairs. Merritt presently departed; and at eight the two confederates again met. Soon a compact and resolute body of more than twenty men slowly and cautiously proceeded to the castle, and, in double file, ensconced themselves close to the walls, and so contiguous to the gate of usual egress as to be ready to rush in at the first opening. They had stood thus, scarcely drawing breath, for about half an hour; and Merritt, who, with the smith, was at the head of the little band, was about to propose that they should attempt to force an entrance, when the gate opened, and John Byles, who had been engaged upon some business with Calverley, unsuspectingly issued forth.
