Charles Robb was responsible for developing an advertising campaign for an anonymous client to bring people back to religion. The result was a humorous, thought-provoking, non-denominational series of messages from God run on billboards in the late 1990's. It created such a positive response that the Outdoor Advertising Association of America picked it as its public-service campaign for the year and ran them in 200 cities nationwide. They were featured on The Today Show and ABC's World News Tonight with Peter Jennings. Mr. Robb undertook a six-city tour, including appearances on major morning television shows to promote his book, and God Speaks sold over 100,000 copies. The book sold in Canada and other foreign countries.
