The newest ad campaign from the CVV (a.k.a. [Suicide Prevention Center](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-american-foundation-for-suicide-prevention)) states that they "transform sadness into hope." As there are a lot of anti-homosexuality stories now coming forth in the light of recently lost lives, these ads wring at the heartstrings of anyone viewing them.

Advertising agency [Seven Comunica](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melon-pan-chocolate-chip-cookies)ção Total based in Blumenau, Brazil did a great job of showing the light at the end of the tunnel and creating print ads that tell a vivid story.
