Scientology Media Productions Launches Global Welcome to Scientology
The Global Welcome to Scientology campaign is a fully integrated public service initiative produced by Scientology Media Productions and published in the United States in January 2025, spanning film, digital, and outdoor media across 30 countries in 17 languages over a 10-week rollout period.
Church of Scientology International announced the campaign on December 23, 2024, as reported by PR Newswire, positioning it as a landmark effort to invite global audiences to explore the breadth and diversity of Scientology as a religion and movement. The campaign centres on three distinct television films — "Our Voice," "Our Church," and "Our Movement" — each addressing a separate dimension of Scientology's self-presented identity. These films were supported by striking outdoor billboards and a coordinated presence across global social media platforms, forming a cohesive, multi-format campaign architecture.
In the United States, where religious identity and institutional trust are subjects of sustained public debate, the campaign enters a crowded and contested space. The initiative was previewed by Scientology leader David Miscavige at the International Association of Scientologists' 40th-anniversary event in October 2024, according to reporting on the announcement, before its formal January 15, 2025 launch date. The campaign's stated purpose — to foster understanding and inspire discovery — frames Scientology not as a doctrine to be accepted but as a community to be encountered, a positioning choice with significant strategic implications for audience reception across diverse cultural markets. The Clapboard Score for this campaign is 72 out of 100, reflecting the ambition and production scope of the work against the inherent complexity of its communication challenge.
Scientology Media Productions built this campaign on a specific and deliberate consumer insight: that public misunderstanding of Scientology is rooted in distance rather than doctrine. The strategic response is proximity — presenting real Scientologists from across six continents, 180 nations, and multiple professions as the primary communication device, according to the campaign's own film descriptions.
The competitive landscape for this campaign is not conventional public-service advertising but the broader arena of religious-affiliation communication, where faith traditions with far greater institutional scale operate. Global Christianity was estimated at approximately 2.49 billion affiliated individuals in 2025, according to Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, illustrating the size of the faith-communication ecosystem within which Scientology is seeking to establish a more recognisable presence. Religious organisations as large and established as the Roman Catholic Church and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints both maintain sophisticated media and public communications operations, setting a high bar for production quality and geographic reach that the Global Welcome to Scientology campaign directly contests.
The decision to produce the campaign entirely in-house through Scientology Media Productions is itself a strategic statement. It signals institutional confidence in the organisation's own creative capabilities and insulates the campaign's messaging from the interpretive layer that an external agency might introduce. Across the United States and the 29 additional countries in the campaign's footprint, this in-house authorship also ensures tonal consistency across all 17 language versions — a production complexity that few religious organisations have attempted at this scale, per the campaign announcement as reported by PR Newswire.
"Our Voice" anchors the creative strategy of the Global Welcome to Scientology campaign. The film presents Scientologists across six continents — described in the campaign materials as mothers, fathers, doctors, artists, athletes, and free thinkers — unified by the stated purpose of improving life for all people, all faiths, and all cultures. The approach is documentary in register, relying on direct address and personal testimony rather than narration or dramatisation, a craft decision that aligns the campaign with the social-experiment tradition in advertising where authenticity of subject supersedes polish of presentation.
"Our Church" and "Our Movement" extend this framework, each shifting the focal point from individual identity to institutional character and collective action respectively. Together, the three films construct a layered argument: that Scientology is simultaneously personal, architectural, and civic. The outdoor billboard component reinforces this argument in static visual form, translating the campaign's inclusive language into high-impact public-facing imagery across multiple markets, including the United States.
Production credits for the Global Welcome to Scientology campaign are not publicly documented beyond the confirmation that Scientology Media Productions served as the producing entity for all creative assets across film, digital, and outdoor formats. The "Our Voice" film had accumulated more than five million views as reported in the campaign's own distribution data, suggesting that the production achieved meaningful traction on digital platforms despite the absence of a conventional paid-media disclosure. The campaign's 17-language versioning required a post-production infrastructure capable of maintaining creative and emotional consistency across linguistic markets — a craft challenge that sits at the intersection of translation, performance direction, and sound design.
"Our Voice," the lead film of the Global Welcome to Scientology campaign, recorded more than five million views across its digital distribution, according to the campaign's own published data. With 186 comments documented on the platform, the film generated measurable audience engagement within the digital environment — a meaningful signal for a public service campaign operating in the religion category, where conversion to active inquiry is a more realistic success metric than transactional response.
No independent third-party verified performance data for the full Global Welcome to Scientology campaign — including total reach, outdoor impressions, or cross-market digital performance — is publicly available at the time of writing. The structural case for effectiveness, however, is grounded in the campaign's architecture. A 10-week schedule across 30 countries and 17 languages, as announced via PR Newswire, creates the conditions for sustained frequency of exposure rather than a single burst impression. In the United States, where Scientology faces the most concentrated and historically critical media environment, the outdoor and digital media mix allows the campaign to reach audiences through channels that bypass editorial framing and deliver the message directly. The in-house production model eliminates intermediary interpretation and ensures the campaign's inclusive, community-forward positioning remains intact from brief to final delivery across every market in its footprint.
The Global Welcome to Scientology campaign is a fully integrated public service initiative launched in January 2025 by Scientology Media Productions. It comprises three films — "Our Voice," "Our Church," and "Our Movement" — alongside outdoor billboards and digital content, distributed across 30 countries in 17 languages over 10 weeks.
Scientology Media Productions produced the campaign entirely in-house. Church of Scientology International is the campaign owner and announcing organisation. The campaign was announced by Church of Scientology International on December 23, 2024, as reported by PR Newswire, before its January 15, 2025 launch.
The campaign reached 30 countries across a 10-week rollout, according to the campaign announcement reported by PR Newswire. It was produced in 17 languages and included film, digital, and outdoor media formats. The campaign was previewed by Scientology leader David Miscavige in October 2024 before its formal January 2025 launch.
The three films are "Our Voice," "Our Church," and "Our Movement." Each addresses a distinct dimension of Scientology's identity: individual diversity, institutional character, and collective purpose respectively. "Our Voice" had accumulated more than five million views on digital platforms, according to the campaign's own published distribution data.
The Global Welcome to Scientology campaign received a Clapboard Score of 72 out of 100. The score reflects the campaign's considerable production ambition — three films, 17 languages, 30 countries — balanced against the inherent complexity of communicating Scientology's identity to global audiences across competitive religious-media environments including the United States.
