Title position in demand distribution
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.

How Demand Data Can Help Entertainment Executives Make More Informed Decisions: A Case Study of 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer'

Parrot Analytics Insights - February 2024

If you are an entertainment executive who wants to make informed and successful decisions about content acquisition, programming or distribution, demand data can be an essential tool. Let us take the example of "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" and how it has performed in the United States during February 2024.

Firstly, the high-level performance statistics, such as the demand index and percentile rank, indicate that the show has very strong demand. Compared to the average show, "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" has an extraordinary 23.4 times the audience demand in the United States. Therefore, acquisition executives looking to invest in content with high demand might want to consider the show as a part of their portfolio. This ranking is determined by demand data, which is used to inform content valuations. Producers may be interested in determining the show's value because its audience demand could influence the show's success in the future.

Secondly, the show's performance in the drama genre is remarkable, with its percentile rank in the 99.5th percentile. This information is essential for acquisition executives looking to purchase new content or programming executives choosing which content to air. This data shows that drama fans in the United States are responding positively to "Buffy The Vampire Slayer."

Thirdly, looking at audience behavior data on who likes the show, executives can use this information to gauge which shows might be similar to "Buffy The Vampire Slayer." By analyzing related content data, executives can potentially identify new trends to follow that appeal to their target audience. For example, executives may acquire similar content such as "Doctor Who (2005)," "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds," or "Game Of Thrones" that has demonstrated audience popularity among fans of "Buffy The Vampire Slayer."

Fourthly, demand data over specific periods can be used to identify shifts in audience interest in the content. For example, even though there was an 11.8% decrease in audience demand for "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" during February, there was a spike in late February 2024. By analyzing the timing of demand spikes and drops, programming executives at a network can use this information to determine the best time to air the show.

Lastly, analyzing the show's performance across multiple dimensions, such as the Parrot Pulse ratings and travelability, allows executives to determine how well it would perform in different regions worldwide. For example, "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" is exceptionally popular in the United States, followed closely by the United Kingdom. Therefore, the show might have an excellent potential for travelability and can be distributed or licensed across a wider market beyond the United States and the UK to reach an international audience.

Furthermore, the performance of the show over time within specific regions is another essential factor in content decisions. For example, comparing the show's current demand to its demand over the previous year for executives at a renewal or licensing renewal decision can give insight into the long-term potential of the content. In this case, "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" experienced a 2.5% rise in peak demand over the last 30 days, indicating an increase in popularity.

In conclusion, demand data is crucial in making informed content decisions. By analyzing data provided by Parrot Analytics, executives in different areas can make accurate decisions about acquiring, distributing, and monetizing content to satisfy their target audience. Executive evaluations are based on assessing demand in all its dimensions, and therefore, analysis techniques such as those demonstrated through Buffy The Vampire Slayer can serve as a model for future decision-making.
