How It Started<\/span><\/h1><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Creative Raven, a division of Thompson Data Systems, Ltd., was established in 2004 by Suzan Marie Chin-Taylor. Suzan was the former marketing and public relations director for an international, hi-tech, opto-electronics manufacturing firm that served the wastewater and civil infrastructure security segments. Once on her own, she leveraged the knowledge she\u2019d gained in that position on behalf of her freelance clients, and never looked back.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, Creative Raven is well-known and highly regarded in the wastewater management industry for its savvy, incisive insight into this market. Every day, Suzan builds on the strength of her knowledge and experience. Along with her team of solidly skilled creative talent, she takes great joy in helping clients develop their brands and bring their message to potential buyers with an eye toward immediate and sustained growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the majority of its clients are concentrated in the municipal water, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure industry, Creative Raven serves the needs of small to mid-sized and emerging firms in all types of industries including specialty manufacturers and retailers, consulting firms, healthcare providers and hospitality among others.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

Suzan founded Creative Raven in 2004 to offer firms in the water, wastewater and underground infrastructure industry a means to access all of the services of a marketing and business development firm that really understood their market and the unique challenges needed to succeed. With over two decades in the industry, she considers herself a “sewer rat” and feels incredibly blessed to have the privilege of working in an industry that is so vital to daily life and is filled with wonderful, generous un-sung heroes. In 2016 she was able to follow a long-held dream to bring her passion and love for the trenchless industry to parts of the world that need it, starting first with India, beginning with the opening of an office in Bangalore. When not being fascinated with all things wastewater, Suzan is an avid hiker in the Red Rock country of Northern Arizona, singer in her spiritual community choir and a supporter of organizations that support entrepreneurship, the protection of wildlife and the environment.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
