In 1964, amidst a depressed local economy, Charles B. Burkhart sought to inspire his South Bend, Indiana neighbors. He posted signs throughout town that read "I believe in South Bend" – a phrase that became a rallying cry for the community.

More than 40 years later, Burkhart Advertising still belives in the importance and influence of communities. Still family-owned, we help local and national clients reach more than 3 million people with out-of home advertising and signage that are more than attractive marketing tools-they're art in the air.
