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 may be tasked with making acquisition or distribution decisions for TV shows. These decisions can be challenging due to the constantly evolving nature of audience tastes and behaviors. This is where demand data comes into play - it can provide valuable insights that inform more informed decisions. This article will use Adventure Time's demand data in Denmark during October 2023 to explore how Parrot Analytics demand data can be used to make more informed decisions.
Content Valuation:
One of the key uses of demand data is content valuation. Demand data helps quantify the dollar value contribution of any title, to any platform in any region. For Adventure Time, we can see that its demand is outstanding, with 11.1 times the audience demand of the average show in Denmark over the last 30 days. This indicates that the show is highly valuable. Comparing demand data for Adventure Time on a 1-year rolling basis versus the last 30 days reveals that the show has increased in popularity. By leveraging demand data, entertainment executives can make more informed content valuation decisions that help them determine how much to spend on content, how much a show is worth, and how much to invest in a content library to retain subscribers.
Acquisition Decisions:
Demand data can be used to inform acquisition decisions by answering questions such as which type(s) of content exhibit opportunity to acquire or produce. In Denmark, Adventure Time's demand has decreased by 110.3% during October; however, demand spiked in late October 2023 for Denmark. Executives can leverage Parrot Analytics demand data to understand how popular a show is in different markets such as Adventure Time's number one market globally, the United States. In addition, executives can analyze the show's popularity in other global markets, such as Brazil, UK, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Russia, Chile, and Argentina, to gain insight into where the show is most in-demand and inform acquisition decisions on a global scale.
Programming Decisions:
Programming decisions can be made more informed with demand data. For Adventure Time in Denmark, we can see that it achieved the peak rank of #2 and dropped in its rank by 74 spots during October in Denmark. This indicates the popularity of the show and provides insight into the target demographic. Furthermore, the Parrot Pulse for "Adventure Time" provides an independent measure of its global performance across dimensions such as worldwide audience demand across all platforms, travelability, longevity, momentum, franchisability, and reach. Executives can leverage this information to determine where to air the show, when to air it, and how to promote it.
Distribution Decisions:
Understanding demand data can also inform distribution decisions. For example, we can see that Adventure Time achieved exceptional audience demand of 39.0x in the United States, where it is most popular. Executives can leverage this information to determine which platforms to target and optimize their marketing campaigns ahead of the premiere.
In conclusion, Adventure Time's popularity in Denmark during October 2023 provides an excellent example of how demand data can be leveraged to inform content valuation, acquisition, programming, and distribution decisions. By analyzing demand data, entertainment executives can make more informed decisions about what content to produce or acquire, how to promote it, and how to distribute it to maximize ROI.
