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.
For entertainment executives looking to make more informed content decisions, the use of demand data can provide invaluable insights into audience interest and engagement with a particular show. Taking the example of "The Walking Dead: World Beyond," we can see how demand data can help inform content valuation as well as aid in programming, distribution, and acquisition decisions.
Firstly, demand data provides insight into how well a show is performing compared to other titles, by quantifying its audience engagement. In the case of "The Walking Dead: World Beyond," its demand in Canada has been consistently above the average for TV shows, making it a valuable asset for any platform. Using Parrot Analytics' content valuation system, executives can determine the dollar value contribution of this show to their platform in any region, helping them to make informed content acquisition decisions.
Demand data also helps executives to understand the specific interests of their audience by measuring a show's performance within a genre or sub-genre. For example, "The Walking Dead: World Beyond" ranks at the 98.0th percentile in the drama genre in Canada, demonstrating its popularity within this category. This information can be used to determine programming decisions, such as which shows to acquire or produce, or how best to promote a particular title.
Additionally, demand data can help studios and content distributors to identify new opportunity markets for content distribution, as well as uncover under-monetized titles that may have been overlooked. In the case of "The Walking Dead: World Beyond," we see that it is performing well in a number of different markets, including France and the Netherlands, indicating the potential for international distribution opportunities.
Furthermore, demand data can help with subscriber acquisition and retention, as well as informing marketing decisions. For example, we know that "The Walking Dead: World Beyond" has been experiencing increasing audience demand in Canada, which could be used to inform promotional campaigns targeting audiences in this market.
Overall, demand data provides entertainment executives with a valuable tool for making informed content, distribution, acquisition, and programming decisions. By using Parrot Analytics' content valuation system to quantify the dollar value of a particular title, and by examining a variety of other metrics such as audience engagement, genre performance, travelability, and more, executives can create a strategic content portfolio that meets the specific needs of their platform and audience.
