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, you are always looking for ways to make more informed content, acquisition, distribution, and programming decisions for your company to thrive in a competitive market. Demand data can help you achieve this goal, and we'll use "Walker" as a case study to highlight how demand data can be used for content valuation, acquiring, programming, and distribution decisions.
Content Valuation:
The demand for a TV series can be an indicator of its worth. In the case of "Walker," it has 8.8 times the demand of the average show in the United States over the last 30 days, indicating a high demand for the show. Content valuation is precisely what Parrot Analytics' system of demand data was built for. The system helps you calculate the ROI of a particular title by measuring the monetary value contribution of that title to any platform and region, leveraging global content demand and supply. You can use demand data to estimate how much to invest in a series or a movie, determine the baseline value of a title, measure the ability of a TV series to minimize churn and increase subscriptions, and more.
Acquisition Decisions:
When it comes to acquiring a TV series, demand data can help you make a well-informed decision. You can use demand data to determine how much a series is worth to another streaming platform, identify the most popular shows in a particular market or a region, compare your content performance to your competitors, and more. For example, "Walker" ranks at the 96.4th percentile in the drama genre in the United States, meaning that it has higher demand than 96.4% of all drama titles in the United States. "Walker" also has a higher demand in several other global markets, including China, Hong Kong SAR China, Iraq, Germany, Australia, the United Kingdom, and South Africa. You can use this information to identify which markets are most beneficial for acquiring "Walker," negotiate the best terms and licensing fees, and make data-driven acquisition decisions.
Programming Decisions:
Demand data can assist you in programming your content and improving your overall content strategy. For instance, you can use demand data to identify your audiences' taste clusters, learn which shows are most likely to attract or retain new subscribers, identify under-monetized titles that have the potential to gain popularity, and more. With "Walker," you can use the demand data to understand what other shows "Walker" fans also like; these shows include "FBI: Most Wanted," "The Rookie," and "Young Sheldon." You can incorporate this information into your programming decisions by bundling these shows for cross-promotion, co-marketing, or bundle offering.
Distribution Decisions:
Demand data can help you make well-informed distribution decisions, such as where to distribute your content, which platforms to target, and what release strategy to implement. You can use demand data to understand what genre is resonating most with your global audience and determine how to optimize the marketing campaign ahead of the series premiere. For example, you can use "Walker" demand data to understand which platforms to target for distribution and understand which demographics show strongest demand. Knowing the top ten global markets where "Walker" is most in-demand, you can tailor your distribution strategy for particular regions, understand the best release window for maximum impact, and execute successful distribution decisions.
In conclusion, demand data is a crucial asset for entertainment executives when making content, acquisition, distribution, and programming decisions. Considering the demand data of "Walker," Parrot Analytics' global content demand and supply data can unlock a rich data-driven approach to content decision-making. You can use demand data to quantify a title's performance, evaluate the ROI of an upcoming production, predict the demand for upcoming releases, make informed acquisition decisions, apply data-driven programming decisions, optimize a platform marketing strategy, make data-driven distribution choices, and much more.
