The Demand Distribution curve illustrates how a TV show’s popularity compares to the demand benchmark, which is a measure of the average demand across all titles. The curve is divided into performance buckets, ranging from “Below Average” to “Exceptional”. A show falls into one of these performance buckets depending on how many times more or less demand it has compared to the demand benchmark.
The show’s performance is market-specific, e.g. the same show can be in the “Average” range in the United States and in the “Good” range in France.
As an example, if a show has 9 times more demand than the demand benchmark, it falls in the “Outstanding” performance range; only 2.7% of all shows in the market reach this high level of demand.
Demand data can be integral to helping entertainment executives at various organizations make informed decisions about content, acquisition, distribution, and programming. The case of the Australian show "Border Security" in January 2024 illustrates this point.
Firstly, content valuation can be determined using demand data. Executives can use information on how much a show is worth, its value, and its performance, to make informed decisions about investments. Parrot Analytics' content valuation system uses global content demand and supply to reveal the dollar value contribution of any title, to any platform, in any region.
Secondly, demand informs decisions about supply and demand. By examining demand data executives can determine what type(s) of content exhibit opportunities to acquire or produce and where demand is growing. In the case of "Border Security," it ranked highly in the documentary genre and is outperforming the demand of the average TV show in various global markets, including Australia, the US, Canada, United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, New Zealand, India, Philippines, and Belgium.
Thirdly, demand insights can be used to help executives retain current subscribers or grow their audience. Executives can determine by examining fan preferences the titles that can help them acquire or retain subscribers. In January demand for "Border Security" decreased only marginally, indicating that executives might want to invest in the show to maintain current subscribers, while examining its top related titles can inform their decisions about acquiring other content to attract new viewers.
Fourthly, demand data informs marketing campaigns. For example, executives can use insights from momentum data to optimize their marketing campaigns before and after a show's premiere. "Border Security" experienced a spike in demand towards the end of January 2024, which could help executives make informed decisions about how to create a buzz for the show ahead of its new season.
Finally, by examining longitudinal demand data, executives can have an idea of how well a show has endured in the past or if it's gaining popularity. For instance, although "Border Security" is an older show, having premiered in 2004, it is still in demand and has seen a recent increase in popularity.
In the case of "Border Security," executives can use the Parrot Pulse, which measures global performance across six dimensions, to determine the show's economic value and spin-off potential. Moreover, executives can use the show's ranking, peak demand, related titles, and global demand to inform decisions about distribution, programming, and acquisition.
This is Border Security's home market and therefore its travelability is 100%; the travelability of a TV show's market of origin is always 100%. Click through to another market to discover how well Border Security travels internationally.
