Los Angeles (October 17, 2023) - Parrot Analytics announced the next edition of its annual awards show marking the 6th annual Global Demand Awards, which recognize the world’s most in-demand TV series, movies, and talent for the year 2023.
The awards will be highlighted by the fourth annual virtual festival featuring the leading talent, executives, and creators behind today’s most in-demand global hits. “Demand Festival: Discovery” will be held online from February 5 through February 9, 2024. Winners in all categories will be announced in late January 2024.
This year’s Demand Festival will once again gather iconic entertainment leaders to explore the profound impact of globalization on the content industry. “Demand Festival: Discovery” will delve into the ability of content to transcend borders and cultures, opening up new monetization avenues, driving innovation in content marketing, and shaping the future of entertainment media. Through poignant conversations and in-depth interviews, the festival programming will unearth the strategies and secrets behind international film and TV hits.
“The arena of entertainment continues to evolve and expand across the globe, reflecting the tastes and preferences of an international audience. As we venture further into this decade, we continue our tradition of shining a spotlight on exceptional entertainment by honoring the series, films, and talent who bring it to life,” said Brandon Katz, Industry Strategist for Parrot Analytics. “Inevitable industry consolidation will result in audiences having less to choose from when it’s time to find their next binge. But they can continue to enjoy an endless menu of entertainment, ranging from blockbuster IP to niche and non-English language content. With so much entertainment created in one year, it’s vital to honor the series and films that break through the noise, attracting the most attention, time, and adoration from global audiences.”
Winners for all categories will be determined using Parrot Analytics’ global entertainment analytics system, ensuring a true reflection of audience desire for excellent storytelling and performance, with no “for your consideration” campaigns influencing the results.
The current finalists for each category are determined based on global audience demand data for the period January 1, 2023 – October 10, 2023.
A further note on methodology: TV series are only included if the show was released in the 2023 calendar year, or if any new episodes were released in the 2023 calendar year. For movies, the analysis timeframe that has been applied is Nov 1 2022 - Oct 31 2023 to ensure that U.S. holiday season movie releases are captured.
Winners and final rankings will be revealed in January 2024.
