Outstanding demand distribution

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.

Why entertainment executives need demand data for better content, acquisition, and distribution decisions: A case study of American Horror Story in New Zealand.

Parrot Analytics Insights - October 2023

As an entertainment executive, you're constantly faced with strategic decisions that could significantly impact the success of your platform or content. Fortunately, demand data can provide you with insightful information to make better-informed decisions. Let's examine how we can use the demand data for "American Horror Story" in New Zealand to help you make more informed content decisions.

First, demand data enables content valuation by providing a dollar value contribution to the platform, which is useful for assessing how much to spend on a title or an entire content library. Given that "American Horror Story" has 14.1 times the audience demand of the average show in New Zealand over the last 30 days, it is contributing an exceptional amount of value to its platform. By having access to this kind of information, you can make a better-informed decision on how much to pay for a content piece, whether it's a TV show, movie or more.

In addition to content valuation, demand data also plays a critical role in programming decisions. For instance, if you're deciding between two shows to acquire, demand data can assist in the selection process. With "American Horror Story", we know that it ranks at the 100.0th percentile in the drama genre in New Zealand over the last 30 days. This means that the show has higher demand than 100.0% of all drama titles in New Zealand. Additionally, we know that at its peak, it achieved 18.8 times the demand of the average show in the last 30 days. These insights are crucial to an executive looking for the right content. By examining the top 10 global markets where "American Horror Story" is most in-demand over the last 30 days, we can conclude that the show outperforms the average TV show demand in every market. Given this information, you can confidently say that "American Horror Story" is the right acquisition for your platform.

Moreover, demand data can play a vital role in distribution decisions. The travelability factor provided by Parrot Analytics for "American Horror Story" shows that the show's international demand is exceptional relative to its home market. With the show's exceptional demand in New Zealand, it can be a no-brainer to expand distribution to other markets, knowing that options exist within the available parameters of international distribution.

Apart from the above three utilization options of the data, one can also use demand data to answer a host of other important questions. For instance, which content is most popular in different markets and demographics? Which content exhibits the most opportunity to acquire or produce? How effective was my marketing campaign around the show, and how does my show's pre or post-premiere compare with other shows? Such information can give you a competitive edge and help you make informed decisions.

In conclusion, as an executive in the entertainment industry, you should turn to demand data as it provides valuable insights that help solve critical business issues. Using our analysis of "American Horror Story" in New Zealand, you can see how easy it can be to gain an understanding of how in-demand a show is, and use such insights to bolster your platform. Access to demand data provides an objective measure of success and the required information to fuel better-informed content, acquisition, or distribution decisions.

Global TV content analytics for the attention economy

Parrot Analytics is the leading global content demand analytics company for the multi-platform business of television. With the world’s largest TV audience demand dataset, the company currently tracks more than 1.5B daily expressions of demand in 100 languages, not only in New Zealand, but also in 100+ other markets around the world to reveal the television content that consumers watch (viewership) and give their attention to the most.

Parrot Analytics' television demand data highlights the global TV content monetization opportunities for FX and thousands of TV studios, linear networks, broadcasters, pay TV providers and OTT / SVOD platforms.

Unlike TV ratings, our DemandRank TV rating system ensures that important demand signals are weighted more heavily than others: The more consumer effort required; the more importance is attached to each signal. Once all the signals are weighted and combined, the audience demand for American Horror Story, for example, can be assessed for a market e.g. New Zealand, which can then be benchmarked against genre averages (e.g. Suspense Horror), using our globally standardized Demand Expressions® metric.
