Every weekday we bring you the Ad Age/iSpot Hot Spots, new TV commercials tracked by iSpot.tv, the real-time TV ad measurement company with attention and conversion analytics from more than eight million smart TVs. The ads here ran on national TV for the first time yesterday.
A few highlights: Qatar Airways imagines a fantastical 1950s musical-style trip for a family, who dance through Paris and ice skate in New York. Mitsubishi Electric promotes its Hyper Heating Systems' power by showing a spokesman on an oddly melting ice cube. And Burger King takes its Big King XL burger to the streets for a comparison taste test (one verdict: "like a Big Mac but more large and in charge").
Attention Index: 84 (16% more interruptions than avg.)
