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 the challenging task of making informed decisions about creating and distributing content that will resonate with your audience and help your organization achieve its strategic objectives. In this context, analyzing audience demand data can provide you with valuable insights that can help you avoid making the wrong decision. Let's consider "American Horror Story" as an example and see how demand data can be used to make informed content, acquisition, and distribution decisions.
Content Valuation:
"American Horror Story" is an exceptional show with higher demand than 100.0% of all drama titles in Poland, making it a valuable asset for any platform or linear network looking to acquire content or produce original programming. Our content valuation system is based on demand data and enables you to quantify the dollar value contribution of any title in any region. By leveraging demand data, you can assess a TV series's ability to drive subscriptions, reduce churn and estimate cannibalization of audiences if a title is available on multiple services. You can also estimate the value of exclusivity and calculate the ROI of a specific title for any given platform.
Programming and Acquisition Decisions:
Our analysis of audience demand data for "American Horror Story" reveals some key insights that can help organizations to make informed content decisions. Firstly, this show has exceptional demand, with 13.6 times the audience demand of the average show in Poland over the last 30 days. This strong demand indicates a high level of popularity and engagement among audiences in Poland, making it an attractive option for any network interested in acquiring content for that region. Furthermore, "American Horror Story" has been increasing in demand recently, indicating that it remains relevant and engaging to audiences in Poland, and providing evidence to suggest that it would be an excellent long-term investment.
We can also look at its performance in other countries, for example, the United States, where it achieved an audience demand of 22.3x. This information suggests that the show is globally appealing and could perform well in other countries where horror content is popular. Therefore, you can use demand data to assess how well a show or series would travel internationally and identify new market opportunities. Other shows that fans of "American Horror Story" also like are "Loki", "Rick And Morty", and "The Simpsons", helping to inform content acquisition decisions for serving your audience's needs.
Distribution Strategy:
Demand data can also help you optimize distribution strategies by providing insights into how to release your content. For example, analyzing the spike in demand for "American Horror Story" in mid-October could inform your release strategy. By optimizing release dates in different countries, you can ensure your content performs optimally while maximizing audience engagement and subscriber retention. In this sense, demand data can be useful for realizing market openings and white spaces for new audiences.
Talent Agencies:
Finally, Talent Agencies can use demand data to understand which titles and actors drive audience demand and engagement. For example, "American Horror Story" has been successful in maintaining exceptional momentum and is highly franchisable, which indicates an opportunity for spin-offs or franchises.
In conclusion, analysing audience demand data can provide valuable insights for entertainment executives when making decisions around programming, acquisition, distribution, and content creation. By understanding how valuable a title is, its potential, its audience, and where it may travel well, you can make more informed strategic decisions, therefore, maximizing audience engagement and driven non-incremental revenue. Incorporating demand data into your ongoing evaluations can ensure that your business remains competitive and ensures that you are delivering a premium service that is reflecting your target audiences' needs.
