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's important to make informed content decisions in order to drive your platform's success. One way you can benefit from data-driven insights that can influence your decision-making process is by leveraging demand data. For instance, using the example of "Inside Edition" in November 2023, let's dive into how we use demand data to help entertainment industry insiders.
Using demand data, you can identify how much a series is worth and how it factors into content valuation, among other things. For example, "Inside Edition's" outstanding demand in November 2023, which was 19.3 times the average show in the country, demonstrates the show's significant audience appeal. It's among just 2.7% of all TV shows to achieve such a level of demand, and it’s ranking and its percentile in the news genre indicate its place relative to other shows in its category. The show's recent increase in demand further affirmed its market worthiness. By combining this data with other key performance indicators like reach, momentum, travelability, and longevity, you can better understand how a show like "Inside Edition" fits into your platform's content strategy.
Also, demand data provides you with valuable insights when it comes to acquisition and distribution decisions. You can identify what types of content or programming exhibit the potential for future growth based on their demand patterns. By analyzing the top 10 global markets in which "Inside Edition" is most in-demand, you can make more informed choices about where to offer the show or other titles like it. For example, you might consider offering it more heavily in those markets or replicate the show in other countries or adapting it for other audiences.
Furthermore, demand data can guide programming decisions by helping you understand what your audience enjoys. Studying the specific demand features that make a TV show like "Inside Edition" popular in your market provides valuable insights. For example, you can use demand data to determine which genre resonates most with your audience and strategize for future content around these popular genres. And Parrot Analytics' content valuation system make it possible to quantify the platform-specific marginal revenue contribution of a title and how it drives engagement across the rest of the catalog by providing neural network models that baseline the value of a content title in any particular market.
Demand data is also used in building and retaining an audience. By having visibility into the titles that viewers enjoy most in your library, you can make more informed decisions about which shows to acquire to keep your audience happy and engaged. This provides a better foundation for building out and sustaining a dedicated audience base and identifying new opportunities presented by changing viewing patterns.
Ultimately, Parrot Analytics empowers entertainment executives to take a data-driven approach to building a successful platform. By leveraging demand data and viewing insights, you can make more informed decisions about your content acquisition and programming decisions with a range of input options like understanding global demand, competitive benchmarking, platform and network fitment taking cognizance of travelability, longevity, momentum, Franchisability, and reach. This equips you for resounding success in the fast-changing and increasingly competitive entertainment industry.
