ramping up 

To excessively increase one's efforts. This can be good or bad.
When he started ramping up, I knew it was time to beat feet & get the Hell outta there! Whilst at the concert, we started ramping up as the fevered pitch of hearing Kickass Rock Music really got our adrenaline going!

Raising awareness 

"Raise Awareness" is a buzzword meaning "Doing something that I think solves the problem to look good, but in reality doesn't actually solve the problem"

You can "Raise Awareness" by liking pictures of poverty and people with diseases, commenting on them with generic "its so sad" phrases, or by posting on a companies facebook wall telling them that they need to change one of their products to 'raise awareness' about an issue. All of which don't solve the problem or raise money for it, such as going on a charity run or volunteering to help.
"Have you heard about this guy Kony? We need to raise awareness so he can be stopped!"

"But how will raising awareness stop him? We should actually spend our time helping the less fortunate, instead of just promoting this war lord"

"Yeah, but liking pictures and posting on peoples walls is much much easier than anything that requires effort"
