# Amplified Heartvertising These 'Beat Poverty' Ads Penetrate the Heart By Amelia Roblin | Published 2010-09-16 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beat-poverty-ads References: [coloribus](http://www.coloribus.com/adsarchive/prints/campagna-del-millenio-loudspeaker-blonde-woman-13926855/) & [grey](http://www.grey.com/index.html?section=HOME&sid=WINNERS) Grey Worldwide developed the 'Beat Poverty' Ads for Campagna del Millenio with the aim to strike a soft spot in the public. In order to raise awareness for the Italian campaign and its Millennium Development Goals, the models featured in each of these posters stand nude and vulnerable, with what one would imagine are ghastly wounds behind chest-mounted amps. The message of the 'Beat Poverty' Ads is to "make your heart beat" for the cause and participate "loud and strong." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Activism](https://www.trendhunter.com/activism) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Heartvertising:** Opportunity for brands to use emotional and impactful advertising to create a deep connection with consumers. - **Social Impact Marketing:** Leveraging advertising and marketing tactics to raise awareness and support for social causes. - **Authentic Vulnerability:** Trend of featuring real and vulnerable individuals in advertising campaigns to resonate with audiences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Advertising:** Opportunity for ad agencies to create powerful and impactful campaigns that evoke strong emotions in viewers. - **Non-profit:** Non-profit organizations can leverage heartvertising to effectively communicate their mission and engage with supporters. - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can adopt heartvertising to create a memorable and emotionally-driven connection with consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mock Social Good Fashion Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-models-own.md) - [Sonic Cell Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-most-beautiful-sound.md) - [Awareness-Raising Shoe Store Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soles4souls-canada.md) - [Awareness-Raising Poverty Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unaccept-inequality.md) - [Educational Valentine's Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/language-of-love.md) - [Footwear-Branded Heart Health Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wear-your-heart.md) - [Creative Music-Based Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/music-deserves-bose.md) - [Billboard-Transformed Tent Shelters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifesaving-outdoors.md) - [Art-Promoting Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beige-billboards.md)
