Advertising for Creative Labs is done in-house by the company's U.S. offices. It is sent over the border to be localized and placed by the Canadian office. In the past, Creative Labs sold its products through distributors and had another company handle servicing. Creative Labs is a subsidiary of Creative Technology of Singapore.
