Lori Burt, Zany Zak’s President and CEO, stated, “Not too big, and not too small—that’s what I needed when it came to a marketing and PR firm. That and a firm that really knew what they were doing and could wrap their heads around the business part of this whole thing. The big guys just didn’t have the ability to focus on my business and simply wanted to talk about being ‘clever’ and ‘creative.’ The small guys couldn’t handle the scope that this relationship was going to entail. But Zion & Zion was a perfect fit. Everything from interactive development to PR to media strategy and buying to social media was completely in-house. And they’ve successfully assisted numerous companies in pursuit of significant growth.”

Zion & Zion CEO Aric Zion commented, “It’s an American success story when you think about it.  Here’s Lori Burt, an ex-airline employee who essentially has the following assets: her brains, her personality, her

creative product talent, her drive and, as an ex-airline employee, her ability to fly around the country at no charge. creative product talent, her drive and, as an ex-airline employee, the ability to fly around the country at no charge. So, we take that, and Lori's love of animals and her passion for them, and we work with her to build a strategy that leverages her ability to pitch her company and wares in person to boutiques around the country, and now in the UK as well.  We couple that with an amazing, interactive e-commerce site that we’ve developed that features custom illustration and animation and move on to develop a grassroots PR and social media campaign, securing visibility for Lori, Zany Zak, and Zak—the dog that inspired it all, and voila—instant success.”

Zany Zak’s products can now be found at boutiques throughout the U.S.—including cities such as Manhattan; Colorado Springs; Scottsdale; Crystal Lake, MI; Santa Fe and Vail.
