In an ad spot from Belgium, Leo Burnett opens up the commercial by using mannequins to show how [cancer patients feel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jcpenney-and-look-good-feel-better): unemotional, still-like and lifeless. By the simple human action of [putting on make-up](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/it-feels-good-to-be-seen) the mannequin comes alive again, making patients feel like real people again. The Fondation Mimi commercial makes us realize that no matter what disease, everyone is still human. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Emotional Advertising:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating emotionally impactful ads that connect with audiences on a deep level. - **Humanizing Health Conditions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Highlighting the human side of health conditions to foster empathy and understanding. - **Reviving Authenticity:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Encouraging authenticity and self-expression to empower individuals facing health challenges. ### Who This Affects Most - **Advertising:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Exploring new approaches to advertising that elicit strong emotional responses and resonate with viewers. - **Healthcare:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing more compassionate and patient-centered approaches to healthcare communication and services. - **Beauty:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating inclusive beauty campaigns that showcase diverse individuals and promote self-acceptance. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creative Cancer Awareness Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pick-up-your-poop.md) - [Bravery-Celebrating Short Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-is-beauty.md) - [Sonic Cell Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-most-beautiful-sound.md) - [Transformative Survivor Tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mark-of-life.md) - [Empowering Beauty Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/you-are-amazing.md) - [Emotional Short Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/johnson-johnson.md) - [Pancake-Centric Health Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pancakes-against-breast-cancer.md) - [Cancer-Symptom Detecting Bras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stage-zero.md) - [Heartfelt Beverage Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-real-boost.md)
