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, understanding the demand for a show like "Loki" in Japan during October 2023 provides several insights that can inform content and distribution decisions. Parrot Analytics has analyzed the demand for "Loki" during this time and found that it had 12.1 times the audience demand of the average show in Japan over the last 30 days. Only 2.7% of all TV shows have this level of demand.
One way to apply demand data for content valuation is by quantifying the platform-specific marginal revenue contribution and how a title drives engagement across the rest of the catalog. Demand data offers valuable insights into the dollar value contribution of any title to any platform in any region. By using Parrot Analytics content valuation system, an entertainment executive can determine how much to spend on content and calculate the ROI a specific title will bring for any given platform.
As a TV series financing company or studio, understanding the performance of a show like "Loki" on a 1-year rolling basis compared to the last 30 days can also inform acquisition decisions. Though the show had a peak demand of 17.7 times the average over the course of the entire year, it peaked at 18.5 times the average in the last 30 days, a 4.8% increase. The average demand on a rolling year basis was just 2.9 times the average title, compared to 12.1 times the title average for the last 30 days, indicating an increase in popularity.
For distribution decisions, demand data is especially useful in mapping local whitespaces and identifying the most popular genres in a given market. In the case of "Loki" in Japan during October 2023, the show moved up in its rank by 350 spots during October, and its demand in Japan has increased by 85.3% during this month. Analyzing the top 10 global markets where "Loki" is most in-demand can also provide insights to guide distribution decisions. For example, during October 2023, "Loki" was most in-demand in the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Canada, India, Australia, Russia, Germany, and China.
Understanding the demand data for a show like "Loki" during a specific time period can also inform programming decisions. In Japan during October 2023, the show achieved the peak rank of #15 and ranks at the 99.8th percentile in the history genre. Given that other shows that fans of "Loki" also liked during this period included "Ahsoka", "Rick And Morty", "Foundation", "The Mandalorian", and "Star Trek: Lower Decks", programming executives can use these insights to inform scheduling decisions and planning lineups.
Overall, demand data is a powerful tool that can inform a range of content-related decisions. By leveraging insights from demand data, entertainment executives can make more informed decisions about content valuation, acquisition, distribution, and programming, enabling them to create and distribute content more effectively and efficiently.
