Brands continue to invest heavily in above-the-line content, and television is still seen as the place brands want to be. Each week, in partnership with Kantar Media, The Drum looks at which brands have been investing the most in newly-launched creative on US national broadcast and cable TV.

The New Year has brought in a barrel-full of new money. In January's first week, ad spend totaled $1.3bn, up 18% compared to the similar time period last year.

New ad spend also spiked at $322m, a 29% hike year-over-year.

All of the week's top five spenders invested heavily in new ads. Geico led the way with $27.3m in new ad spend, and Wendy's used all of its $10.8m to push new spots. The one constant was the NFL, which remained the top program for new creatives across the board.
