Media Coverage

June 29, 2001 — Apple Corporate sent a film crew down south to Creative Resources, Inc.’s corporate office and training center to feature the company in the Apple success stories series. It was an incredible honor and testimony to the wonderful job the CR team has done with the young company.

After spending the day visiting some of CR’s satisfied customers and interviewing them for the special, the group came back to do some “on-site” taping. This proved to be quite an, well let’s just say “interesting” experience, with Tessa and Bismark going crazy with curiosity about the cameras and microphones. (Tessa and Bismark are the resident stress relieving canine buddies.)

In his acting debut, system engineer Russell Poucher did a perfect job on film, eloquently explaining the very impressive accomplishments made by the Creative Resources team over the last few years.

After some background, Poucher explained some of the exciting new directions the company will be headed in the near future. He also talked in detail about the ongoing seminar and training series being held in their new state-of-the-art Apple products training center.

April, 2005 — Creative Resources hosted a Tiger Launch Event. We were thrilled with the attendance and everyone had a wonderful time. Creative Resources presented demonstrations on features and benefits of Apple’s latest operating system. We also raffled numerous prizes including copies of Tiger, ThinkFree Office and .Mac. Click below to check out a few photos of the event.

July, 2006 — Creative Resources opens up our second location in Honolulu, Hawaii. This location will cater to the technical needs of the local economy. Our new office manager, Jason Yoshioka, will head up the operations, along with Derek Smith and Tony Barnhill, our systems engineers, handling all of the technical support issues.
