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 at an OTT or SVOD platform, evaluating the value of content based on audience demand data is critical in making informed decisions about content acquisition, distribution, and programming. Using the example of "DC's Stargirl" in August 2023, we can illustrate how Parrot Analytics' demand data can provide valuable insights.
Firstly, analyzing "DC's Stargirl" based on its Parrot Analytics' demand data can help executives understand the value of this TV series and how it stacks up against other shows in the market. Currently, "DC's Stargirl" has a demand that is 9.7 times the average show in the United States over the last 30 days, which is considered outstanding. Additionally, the show has higher demand than 96.8% of all drama titles in the United States, positioning it as a highly sought-after drama title. For OTT or SVOD platforms that rely on retention and subscriber growth, this performance data can help justify content investment and inform programming decisions.
Next, the show's demand data can also provide insights into audience behavior and preferences. "DC's Stargirl" fans tend to also enjoy shows such as "Young Sheldon", "The Flash", and "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds," among others. By examining how the audience behavior of these shows overlaps with that of "DC's Stargirl", strategic content acquisitions, and programming decisions become easier, as content teams can better tailor their offerings to their audiences' preferences.
Parrot Analytics' data can also provide valuable insights into the show's performance on a global level. For instance, "DC's Stargirl" is in the 96.8th percentile for drama titles in the United States, but how does that compare globally? By measuring performance across six dimensions including travelability and reach, we can see that this show is not only popular within its home country but has also been gaining international traction across various regions.
Furthermore, insights gleaned from audience demand data can help tailor marketing campaigns, optimize pricing strategies, and find underserved markets. By examining how audience demand has changed over time, executives can make more precise strategic decisions about budgeting, content acquisition, and programming. In the case of "DC's Stargirl," demand spiked in late August 2023, indicating that there may have been a specific event that drove interest in the show, which executives can be alerted to in real-time, allowing them to pivot their strategy, if necessary.
In conclusion, Parrot Analytics' demand data provides entertainment executives with invaluable insights into the performance of any given title, answering questions about audience behavior and preferences, global performance, and long-term sustainability. By analyzing "DC's Stargirl" in August 2023, we can see how demand data can inform content decisions and strategy when utilized to its full potential.
