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.
As an entertainment executive, you have to make decisions on choosing the content to produce, acquire, or distribute. The use of demand data can help you make more informed decisions. This can be demonstrated using the example of "Special Ops: Lioness" in Canada in August 2023.
Firstly, demand data can be used to assess the value of a TV series. "Special Ops: Lioness" has an outstanding demand and has generated 15.1 times the audience demand of the average show in Canada over the last 30 days. The Parrot Pulse for "Special Ops: Lioness" across six dimensions, including travelability and longevity, produces an independent measure of its global performance. This data can be used to determine the value of this show critically.
Secondly, demand data can be used to discover audience preferences and tastes. Using the example of "Special Ops: Lioness," similar shows that fans of "Special Ops: Lioness" also like are "Hijack," "Ahsoka," "Justified: City Primeval," and "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds." This data can be used to produce or acquire content that will attract audiences that are interested in such genres.
Thirdly, demand data can be used to influence programming decisions. "Special Ops: Lioness" ranks are at the 99.8th percentile in the drama genre in Canada in August 2023. This data could influence the commissioning of more shows in the drama genre if the objective is to produce more popular content.
Fourthly, demand data can be used to inform acquisition decisions. The global performance of "Special Ops: Lioness" across the top ten global markets, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Kenya, South Africa, Australia, Canada, Brazil, Bulgaria, and China, shows excellent audience demand for the show in each of them. The outstanding demand in each of these markets shows that the show is attractive, and acquiring it could be profitable for a streaming platform or content distributor.
Lastly, demand data can help in optimizing the release strategy and pricing of content. In the case of "Special Ops: Lioness," demand spiked in late August 2023 in Canada. This information can be used to optimize the marketing campaign ahead of the premiere of the next season or similar content.
In conclusion, demand data can help entertainment executives make more informed content, acquisition, distribution, or programming decisions. By using Parrot Analytics' content valuation, executives can get an economic valuation of any title, to any platform, in any region to guide them in developing better strategies and make data-driven decisions.
