Creativity plays a pivotal role in the advertising process, so much so that it is commonplace to develop agencies around the creative genius of a single person. University of Navarra
WEST, Douglas C., “360 of Creative Risk”, Journal of Advertising Research, Vol. 39, nº 1, January/February 1999, p. 39. A “winning creative idea”, one that stands out from the croad and is memorable, can have enormous impact on sales. Researchers have estimated that a winning creative idea can generate a sales increase of up to five times, controlling for the same budget, product, distribution, and other marketing effords. Winning creative ideas are also important for their afect on the hiring and firing of advertising agencies and in helping agencies win creative awards (…) University of Navarra
REID, Leonard N. and MORIARTY, Sandra E., “Ideation: A Review of Research”, Current Issues and Research in Advertising, nº 1, 1983, pp.119-134 It is enigmatic, therefore, that creativity research has not drawn equivalent attention in the advertising literature. Why? University of Navarra

ZINKHAN, George M., “Creativity in Advertising: Creativity in the Journal of Advertising”, Journal of Advertising, Vol.XXII, nº 3, 1993, pp. 1-3. From the very beginning, Journal of Advertising authors understood and paid homage to the pivotal role that creativity plays in advertising. For example, in the first five years of JA (1972-1976), 10 of the 111 articles published (9.0 %) explicity discussed the topic of creativity in advertising. However, the next 15 years saw only five more article (1.4% of the total) published on creativity. What can explain this sudden drop in interest? University of Navarra

Scientific Production on Advertising Vs. Production on Creativity University of Navarra
# The conclusion to be drawn is obvious: advertising creativity, despite its importance in education and the profession, has never been an issue of priority interest in research on advertising CONCLUSIONS 1+2 The material presented here leads to the conclusion that there is much to be done within this field of study, because, as Zinkhan stated in the introduction above, and as has been shown, the study of advertising creativity has not provoked sufficient research interest.
