I'm a Mormon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2010 educational outreach campaign by the LDS Church

I'm a Mormon was an educational, advertising and outreach campaign bythe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 2010[1] to 2018 that aimed to address stereotypes and misconceptions, attempting to educate non-members about the church, by featuring short profiles from church members (also known by the nicknameMormons).

Campaign

[edit]

Short video clips began airing on American television in January 2011, expanding by October to a television, bus and billboard campaign in 12 US cities and Brisbane, Australia.[2][3][4][5] The executive director of the campaign wasStephen B. Allen.[2] In 2013, the campaign was extended to Ireland and the UK with ads ondouble-decker buses and the internet,[6] said to be in response to the opening ofThe Book of Mormon musical in London.[7] InMelbourne during the 2017 run, the church advertised atSouthern Cross railway station and elsewhere in the city, as well as on television.[8]

The campaign emphasized facts aboutLDS Church membership through cultural and racial diversity of individuals profiled, representing (in 2011) more than a million claimed church members in Mexico and Brazil each, and nearly as many in Asia.[2] The campaign included cooperation from lay members who were encouraged to create a profile on the church website to tell about their faith and answer common questions.[citation needed] The campaign has been subject of scholarly articles concerning its relationship withMormonism and women.[9]

The campaign did not air in Iowa, South Carolina or Florida during the2011 Republican presidential primary season to avoid causing controversy around Latter-day Saint candidatesMitt Romney andJon Huntsman.[2]

In October 2018,church presidentRussell M. Nelson said that the use of nicknames such asMormon was "a major victory for Satan."[10][11][12] As a result, the campaign was discontinued and the mormon.org website was shut down, removing the user generated content and stories.
