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 that will create maximum impact for your company, and you have to do that by having as much information as possible about your market of operation. In an environment where the competition for audience attention is getting fiercer by the day, you need to find an edge that can set your content apart from the competition. The solution to this dilemma is demand data, and it can be a game-changer for your company.
Take the case of "Project Blue Book" for the month of March 2024 in Spain as an example. From the demand data, we can see that this Sci-Fi thriller has an incredible 8.8 times the audience demand of the average show in Spain over the last 30 days, which indicates how well-received the show is in that market. By looking at the rankings, the show peaked at #158 in Spain and was #99.0 percentile in the drama genre, indicating its above-average performance on that platform.
Demand data can very much inform content valuation, and it can help you determine how much to spend on content. Parrot Analytics content valuation system calculates the dollar value contribution of any title to any platform in any region, all from the real-time demand data extracted. With that information, you can make informed decisions on which property to acquire, which property to develop, and which property has the potential of driving growth for your platform.
To optimize the performance of your existing content library, demand data can inform programming decisions based on external trends in local and global spaces like mapping local white spaces or quantifying taste clusters. Additionally, demand data can assess a TV series' ability to drive subscriptions and mitigate churn, which can ultimately optimize subscription acquisition.
Demand data can also inform distribution decisions like assessing a show's travelability if you want to expand your audience reach by entering into new markets. It enables you to understand the global appeal of a show relative to other series in the genre. Content distributor and talent agencies can use this information to negotiate favorable deals for their clients, based on demand.
For TV production companies, demand data can inform content development decisions by answering questions like what type of content exhibits opportunity to acquire or produce, or how can upcoming production be optimized for success. Similarly, demand data can help studio executives to find new opportunity markets and show them where there is potential for content distribution.
In conclusion, demand data is a valuable tool that can help entertainment executives make informed decisions when it comes to financing, programming, distribution, and content acquisition. Parrot Analytics content valuation system and global demand metrics enable entertainment executives to make data-driven decisions that minimize risk and maximize opportunities.
