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.

Unlocking The Power of Demand Data: How Dark Showcases The Importance Of Informed Content, Acquisition, Distribution, And Programming Decisions

Parrot Analytics Insights - February 2024

As a TV executive, you are constantly seeking ways to make more informed content, acquisition, distribution, or programming decisions. Parrot Analytics' demand data is an essential tool for developing an evidence-based strategy that can help you stand out in the competitive market. The success story of the German production "Dark" in February 2024 offers various insights into how you can leverage demand data to make informed decisions. Let's explore these insights by answering some questions.

Content Valuation:
- How can you determine the value of a content library or an individual series to your platform?
Parrot Analytics content valuation system can help quantify the dollar value contribution of any title to any platform in any region, based on global content demand and supply. For instance, the demand data for "Dark" in February 2024 shows that it has an outstanding demand, thirteen times higher than the average show in the United States. Meanwhile, Dark's travelability is outstanding, meaning it has a high potential for global SVOD expansion. Therefore, it can be concluded that "Dark" is a valuable asset that can attract and retain subscribers from all over the world.

Programming and Distribution Decisions:
- How can you optimize your marketing campaign for your upcoming content release?
Parrot Analytics' demand data can help you determine the best release strategy for your content. Suppose "Dark" had a marketing campaign scheduled in February 2024. In that case, the demand spike that occurred towards the end of the month could have been utilized to optimize the marketing campaign. The spike indicates that more people were becoming interested in the title, and it would have been an excellent opportunity for the producers to capitalize on this trend by upping the promotional spend levels.

- Which platforms should you target for the distribution of your content?
By analyzing the demand for "Dark" across the various global markets, its franchisability (spin-off potential) and reach (the number of people expressing demand for a show), Parrot Analytics can provide insights into the audience of a specific show. Examining the top 10 global markets where "Dark" is most in-demand demonstrates that this TV series outperforms the demand of the average TV show (1x) in each of these markets. From this analysis, it's clear that "Dark" could serve as a valuable addition to any SVOD platform, pay-tv network, or linear network that seeks to attract and retain audiences interested in the drama genre.

- How can you find new opportunity markets for content distribution?
Demand data can help you uncover under-monetized or untapped markets. For example, "Dark" has outstanding demand across various global markets, and it attracts audiences in countries where it is not the show's country of origin. In February 2024, the United States demand for "Dark" was outstanding. This success story can inspire film studios, TV networks, or pay-tv providers to use demand intelligence to identify untapped audiences and territories where similar content could find success.

Audience Retention and Acquisition:
- Which titles should you buy if you want to keep your current audience happy?
Demand data can help you understand which titles resonate with the current audience. For instance, fans of "Dark" are also interested in titles like "Rick And Morty", "Stranger Things", and "Black Mirror". A strong similarity to established content could drive a significant retention audience, as demand for these shows could indicate that they share the same or similar audience.

- Which titles should you buy if you want to grow your audience?
Demand data can help you understand which titles could attract audiences interested in the content you're offering. Based on the fanbase composition mentioned above, producers or studios could easily use this information to help attract new audiences based on observational insights.

In conclusion, demand data generated by Parrot Analytics can help TV executives make informed decisions about content, acquisition, distribution, or programming. By examining demand data for shows like "Dark" across different regions or timeframes, SVOD platforms, pay-tv networks, or linear networks can gain insights into audience preferences, which can inform their strategy. By leveraging this data, executives can make more informed, data-driven decisions that enable them to increase audience share, secure valuable content, and grow their businesses.

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 the United States, 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 Netflix 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 Dark, for example, can be assessed for a market e.g. United States, which can then be benchmarked against genre averages (e.g. Fantasy Drama), using our globally standardized Demand Expressions® metric.

This page has been reconstructed on March 28, 2024, 7:52 a.m. PST using global television demand datasets from Parrot Analytics for Dark in the United States.
