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.

Unlocking the Power of Demand Data for Entertainment Executives: A Case Study of 'Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency' in the United States

Parrot Analytics Insights - March 2024

Demand data is an essential tool for content creators, distributors, and platforms to optimize their content decisions. The data points from the analysis of "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" for the month of March 2024 in the United States can show how demand data can be leveraged to aid content valuation, acquisition, programming, and distribution decisions.

Using audience demand data from Parrot Analytics, it is possible to determine how much a content title is worth to a specific platform, calculate the ROI a particular title will bring for any given platform, and assess a TV series ability to drive subscriptions, and mitigate churn. For example, "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" has a 4.4 times higher audience demand in the United States compared to the average show over the last 30 days. Only 8.6% of all TV shows have this level of demand, and this show's rank dropped in March by 13 spots. Based on the demand data, a distribution executive could assess how much this show is worth in the United States and decide whether to renew the show or promote it in the portfolio. Also, if the show's declining demand translates to churn, it would require more aggressive marketing.

Another application of demand data is for content acquisition. Decision-makers can leverage demand data to quantify the platform-specific marginal revenue contribution and how a title drives engagement across the broader catalog. Additionally, it can aid in mapping local white spaces, optimizing release strategy and pricing, and uncovering under-monetized titles. The analysis shows that "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" ranks 90.6% in the comedy genre in the US for March. Thus, a comedy vertical manager milks this data to identify similar comedy titles to add to the roster and increase audience engagement.

Furthermore, demand data links with programming decisions by providing insights on the popularity of a series, franchise potential, and affinity analysis to identify possible cross-promotion or partner opportunities. The data can also inform scalable concept testing, optimal spin-offs, and franchises development while understanding the changing viewer's taste. For "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency," we see that the show has franchises spin-off potential classified as okay, and the demand is good in Russia and France, while demand is okay in Sweden, Germany, and the Netherlands. A studio executive can leverage this data to develop a franchise or spin-off for the specific region with high demand.

Finally, demand data helps with distribution decisions by comparing content against other titles available on the market, informing pre-release marketing, and powering discovery and recommendations. As demonstrated by analysis insights, the demand spiked in late March, indicating that the distribution team can leverage this for pricing and availability decisions. Alternatively, a talent agent can use demand data to understand which brand to partner with or expand the show's popularity into new global channel opportunities.

In conclusion, demand data has multiple applications that can aid in content valuation, acquisition, programming, and distribution decisions for entertainment executives. Ultimately, executives can chart a path to success by using data-driven insights and developing optimized, user-centric content and distribution strategies.
