The combination of greater attention and fantasy/ entertainment that 'Bad Bull' brings has seen it work harder in cinema. "The cinema offers a good opportunity to reach a younger audience across the globe. The "cinema experience", with it's shared nature, tends to lead to greater attention being paid to advertising, making it more memorable, so cinema ads can boost the impact of a TV campaign. However, not all advertising works well in the cinema, and the best ads tend to reflect the cinema-goer's desire for escapism, fantasy and entertainment." (Millward Brown).
