The integration of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) into various economic and social spheres has accelerated at a speed that could not have been foreseen just a year ago. All professional sectors are affected, with each trying to assess the gains and limits of this integration. The creative communications sector - advertising agencies, digital agencies, communications freelancers, content creators - is no exception, as the entire chain of strategic decisions leading up to creation integrates its share of IAGs to optimize operations and accelerate production. However, these promises come with a host of ethical, economic and interpersonal impacts that are still difficult to assess. This paper proposes to circumscribe this impact on the ideation and creation processes in creative communication. Based on the dynamic and processual model of applied creativity, we identify five dualities between the gains and challenges to creativity in the use of GenAI. Finally, we propose three recommendations for the integration of GenAI in creative communication agencies.
