# Egg-Inspired Mental Health Ads Hulu Taps the World_Record_Egg for a Positive Super Bowl Message By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-02-04 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mental-health-ad References: [designtaxi](https://designtaxi.com/news/403408/WorldRecordEgg-Cracks-Open-To-Reveal-An-Unexpected-But-Positive-Message/) & [twitter](https://twitter.com/hulu/status/1092258769042472960?utm_source=DesignTAXI&utm_medium=DesignTAXI&utm_term=DesignTAXI&utm_content=DesignTAXI&utm_campaign=DesignTAXI) It becomes quite evident from this mental health ad that [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/algorithm-cleansing-song) is not the only platform on which the #WorldRecordEgg is thriving. The commercial ran during the Super Bowl game and it was sponsored by popular television network [Hulu](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/live-tvs-new-campaign). The company and the famous Instagram egg dropped a few hints via the social media platform prior to airing the mental health ad. The video ran for about one minute and it told the tale of the incredible digital media pressure that the egg was experiencing. It had "started to crack." The video advocated for struggling individuals to visit MentalHealthAmerica.net if they were experiencing hardships. The message of mindfulness had nothing to do with Hulu's business model and, as a result, the audience gave the "partnership the thumbs-up" as the commercial wasn't exploitative or "a regular product endorsement." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/branding) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Mental Health Ads:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating impactful advertising campaigns that raise awareness about mental health. - **Influencer Partnerships:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborating with influential online personalities to promote positive messages and social causes. - **Mindfulness Advocacy:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing platforms and initiatives that promote mindfulness and well-being in the digital age. ### Who This Affects Most - **Advertising:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implementing innovative approaches to advertising campaigns that focus on mental health and social causes. - **Social Media:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Leveraging social media platforms to drive conversations and initiatives around mental health and mindfulness. - **Streaming Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrating mental health advocacy and mindfulness initiatives into the business models of streaming services to provide added value to users. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mental Health Awareness Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/itv.md) - [Mental Health Branding Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mental-health-awareness-month1.md) - [Athlete-Backed Mental Health Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-your-mind.md) - [Mental-Health Awareness QSR Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-meal-box.md) - [Body-Positive Brand Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doves-super-bowl-ad.md) - [Uplifting Social Media Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optimism-your-feed.md) - [Holiday Mental Health Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walkers-mental-health-awareness-campaign.md) - [Peer-to-Peer Conversation Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-tea-real-talk.md) - [Mental Health Beer Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brewdog-and-iamwhole.md)
