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, it is essential to understand how audience demand data can help you make informed decisions about content acquisition, distribution, programming, and content valuation. Using the example of "GLOW," we can highlight several ways in which demand data can be leveraged for decision-making.
One way content valuation is done is by using demand data to answer the question "How much is my series worth?" Parrot Analytics content valuation system utilizes demand data to determine the dollar value contribution of a title to any platform in any region. "GLOW" has an outstanding demand of 9.4 times the average show in the United States over the last 30 days. Therefore, it would be valuable to any platform interested in acquiring or distributing content in the United States. The demand data can provide platforms with an economic valuation system for their content.
Demand data also indicates content's popularity and helps to make informed programming decisions. Using "GLOW" as an example, its demand has been increasing recently, and although the demand for the show decreased by 9.1% during March 2024 in the United States, its demand spiked at the end of the month. This information shows that programming the show at the end of March may help retain subscribers and improve engagement as the show's demand is expected to rise.
Entertainment executives at studios and TV production companies can leverage demand data to make informed decisions about content creation and acquisition for their audience. They can use demand data to answer questions like "What types of content exhibit opportunities to acquire or produce?" Demand data on "GLOW" shows that it's in high demand in the United States, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Romania, Australia, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and France. Thus, creating similar content in these markets could help these companies acquire new subscribers and retain existing ones.
For content distribution decision-making, demand data on "GLOW" exhibits its global performance across six dimensions measured by the Parrot Pulse, including travelability, longevity, momentum, franchisability, and reach. The data reveals that "GLOW" has good and okay performances in all dimensions with the outstanding reach measure. This information can help linear network, pay-TV, and content distributor executives make informed decisions about the show's distribution in markets with high demand.
Lastly, demand data can help answer questions around content marketing. Businesses that partner with a show based on the affinity analysis of its fans can expand their audience by advertisement in the show or on the show's merchandise. Therefore, determining the affinity cluster of "GLOW" fans and others like them can help marketers target the right audience accurately.
In conclusion, leveraging audience demand data can provide entertainment executives with valuable insights that help with content acquisition, distribution, programming, and content valuation decisions. As seen with "GLOW," understanding the metrics can provide a competitive advantage in the market.
