Most Valuable Entertainment Franchises
The ongoing streaming wars have increased focus on the value of entertainment franchises and how they can drive reboots, revivals, and remakes to help stand out in a crowded field. Knowing which entertainment franchises are worthy for development is invaluable information.
Using E-Score Brand we developed a custom brand equity index to discover the top entertainment franchises across Insta-Gens. Not only does it identify the stronger franchises, but can easily be broken down by key demographic groups.
- •Along with Marvel, Friends is one of the top entertainment franchises among Insta-Gen, Millennials, and Gen X making HBO Max’s planned reunion special of the beloved sitcom an almost-guaranteed success.
- Disney is a heavy favorite among Insta-Gens as it owns the top three franchises and makes up nearly half of the top 20 list.
- Dr. Seuss is also a top franchise among Insta-Gens, Millennials and Gen X making it a true crossover franchise.
Pro Sports League Comparison Across Key Attributes
Which professional sports leagues/promotions perform the best among sports-centric consumers across four key attributes: Family-Friendly, Unique, Entertaining, and Influential? Using E-Score Brand, we look at consumers with strong interest in sports programming and where they rank 9 of the top professional sports leagues and promotions when it comes to these key brand traits.
- Major League Baseball is not only America’s favorite pastime, but also tops our list as the most Family-Friendly sports league/promotion.
- As the WNBA continues to grow as a brand, the league ranks first when it comes to being Unique and is #4 for Influential. The league continues to add star players, offers a skilled and team-oriented style of play, and has become a strong source of athlete activism.
- The popularity of MMA events have taken the sports world by storm and it’s no surprise that the two top promotions rank high when it comes to “Entertaining”: Bellator MMA (rank 1), UFC (rank 5). Bellator MMA not only has a talented stable of fighters, but their WWE-style presentation helps provide a unique contrast from the UFC.
- The NFL continues to be the most dominant sports league in America and the impact on the economy, media, and social issues is what pushes the league to the top of the Influential ranking. The NBA ranks 2nd on the list thanks in large part to the recognizable star power of their athletes, impact on fashion and culture, and vocal athlete activism.
