Stuhlfaut, M. W., & Windels, K. (2019). Altered States: The Effects of Media and Technology on the Creative Process in Advertising Agencies. Journal of Marketing Communications, 25(1), 1–27. https://doi-org.ezproxy.snhu.edu/10.1080/13527266.2017.138006

The authors, from the University of Kentucky (Stuhfaut), and Louisiana State University (Windels) respectively, purpose dramatic changes have occurred in the media environment due to technological advancements and innovation which has spurred important changes to the creative process in ad agencies. Though interview-based research, the authors ask questions of ad agency workers nationally, functioning in various roles, about their creative process, how technology fits into their creative teams, adaptation to interactive media, and changes in their creative process relative to technology. The finding of their interviews suggest that the internet has caused the relationship between the client and the agency, with the agency needing to offer more services as clients have developed their own in-house services for some of the items traditionally utilized by the agency. One of the shortfalls in this study are the semantics within the terminology and the catchall terms used in the media industry, such as, new media, interactive media, social media, and digital media to reference non-traditional media sources. These were used interchangeably without definition. This study was also limited by its qualitative methods that discourage generalized conclusions.
