Alcon Media Group has formed a strategic partnership with data firm Parrot Analytics, applying cross-platform analytics and content valuation tools to its extensive entertainment intellectual property portfolio.

Alcon, an independent studio, will integrate Parrot Analytics' global demand data to manage its recently expanded library of iconic franchises, acquired through a major acquisition. This partnership aims to de-risk investments, identify untapped audience potential for legacy titles, and strategically plan future film, television, and interactive projects in an increasingly competitive media environment.

What We Know So Far

  • Alcon Media Group and Parrot Analytics have entered a strategic partnership to integrate data analytics into Alcon's development and go-to-market plans across film, television, and publishing.
  • The agreement follows Alcon's acquisition of 108 feature films from the Village Roadshow Entertainment Group library, a move intended to be informed by Parrot's IP strategy tools, according to imdb.com.
  • Alcon will utilize a suite of Parrot Analytics’ products, including TV, Movie, and Talent Demand, alongside Audience Demographics and Audience Sentiment tools, as reported by Deadline.com.
  • The partnership will initially concentrate on two primary workstreams: IP investment strategy and talent planning, according to a report from Thewrap.com.
  • A Delaware Bankruptcy Court previously granted Alcon derivative rights to most of the Village Roadshow library, empowering the company to greenlight new projects based on the acquired properties.
