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.
Are you an OTT platform executive or content distributor working in the United States? Consider taking a closer look at Steven Universe, with its exceptional audience demand figures that are 37.9 times higher than the average show in the United States over the previous 30 days. Such audience demand data is valuable in ascertaining the show’s content valuation, supporting the decision-making process about acquisition, distribution, and programming.
Parrot Analytics' content valuation system, operating on the principles of demand data, can help determine how much to spend on content, detect the dollar value contribution of any title, and navigate the market by gauging demand performance. This system is powered by global content demand and supply, making it useful for marketplaces worldwide and using travelability to assess global appeal.
Are you an entertainment talent agency? Then consider an assessment of the series to identify the demographics of its dedicated fan base and tailor specific advertisements, keeping in mind that parents prefer this series for younger kids.
On the linear network or pay TV network side, you could run show segments that allow viewers to express their interest in the show, which would support content acquisition, development, and relationships with the fans.
Want to know where a show works best? Concerned about franchise viability? Desire to know how well a show holds up one year after airing? Or which platforms showcase the title? Parrot Analytics' demand data offers solutions through its six-measurement system.
