Jack Hanna Praises Burke Communications Video Created for the Carolina Raptor Center

CHARLOTTE, NC – Jack Hanna, star of television's Jack Hanna's Animal Adventures, recently commended Burke Communications on the quality of a video the advertising agency created for and donated to Carolina Raptor Center.

The video was produced by Burke Communications as a contribution toward Carolina Raptor Center's October 5th fundraising event, "Take Flight! An evening with Jack Hanna", at which Mr. Hanna served as the keynote speaker. The video describes Carolina Raptor Center's important work in environmental education and conservation of birds of prey through public education, the rehabilitation of injured and orphaned raptors, and research. It was written, produced, filmed and narrated by Burke Communications staff for Carolina Raptor Center Raptor Center as part of Burke's longstanding commitment toward supporting nonprofit agencies doing exceptional work in the Charlotte area.

After seeing the video, which was shown at the event, Mr. Hanna said, "The Carolina Raptor Center DVD that Burke produced was one of the better videos I've seen at the local or regional level. It captured the emotion of the subject very well, and the quality was certainly comparable to many national videos."

"This kind of assignment is always a lot of fun for us," notes Jack Burke, CEO of Burke Communications. "Multimedia branding offers so many variables to work with, especially when it targets a subject that's so easy to connect with. Carolina Raptor Center does such great work... we just allowed the video to tell its story."
