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.
Parrot Analytics has been providing content insights for years, and our revolutionary approach to measuring demand provides industry professionals with the ability to make data-driven decisions. This is exemplified by our recent analysis of the crime drama series "Endeavour," which is currently airing in Canada.
Content Valuation: There are several questions that content producers and executives need to answer, and content valuation helps answer most of these questions. By leveraging Parrot Analytics' demand data, executives can determine how much to spend on content, assess the value of exclusivity, estimate the baseline value of a title, and calculate the ROI a particular title will bring to a platform. In the case of "Endeavour," we can use demand data to evaluate how valuable the show is to Canadian audiences. Over the past 30 days, the show's demand has been 5.4 times greater than the average title in Canada, situating it within the top 8.6% of all television shows in the country. This high level of popularity speaks well for the show's content valuation in Canada and emphasizes its potential in the global market.
Mapping Local WhiteSpaces and Audience Taste Clusters: Endeavour's increased demand in Canada provides insights into the most popular genres among Canadian audiences. By examining the top 10 global markets where "Endeavour" is most in-demand over the last 30 days, we find that this TV series outperforms the demand of the average TV show (1x) in each of these markets, thus giving producers insight into understanding how well a show can perform in a specific market or territory. Additionally, looking at audience taste cluster, we determine that "Endeavor" fans tend to like crime dramas, such as "Shetland", "The Blacklist", and mystery shows like "Foundation".
Subscriber Retention and Acquisition: The demand data for "Endeavour" provides valuable insights into what titles could be added to a library to retain and acquire subscribers. For example, a platform could look for other titles that are like Endeavour to help retain subscribers that enjoy shows with a similar theme. Additionally, tracking the demand trend of "Endeavour" over an extended period could help predict the show's future popularity and understand how it could affect subscription rates positively or negatively.
Optimal Release Strategy and Pricing: Understanding the demand trend for "Endeavor" helps executives determine the best release strategy and pricing. For example, looking at how demand changes over periods could inform decisions like releasing the next episodes during the peak demand period, or how price changes affect demand over time.
Franchisability, Travel ability, Momentum, Longevity, and Reach: These dimensions of Parrot analytics' content demand measurement system provide insights into the show's global performance, how well the audience demand is maintained over time, how quickly the show is gaining in popularity, its potential for spin-offs, and the number of people expressing demand for it respectively. Based on the Parrot Pulse for "Endeavour," the audience demand across all platforms is outstanding, and its longevity, momentum, franchisability, and reach are good. The fact that "Endeavour" is performing well consistently in Canada speaks to the show's longevity and suggests it has the potential to continue doing well in the future, both in Canada and globally.
In conclusion, Parrot Analytics understands the critical role that content demand measurement plays in informing and guiding investment acquisition, distribution, and content decisions across all networks, studios, production houses, distributors, and talent agencies. By leveraging demand data, industry stakeholders can make data-driven decisions based on a deep understanding of ever-evolving audience demands.
