Forrester predicts that nearly one-third of automated jobs at US agencies will transition to GenAI over the next five years, while the creator economy is projected to become a $500 billion business by 2030. These forces are fundamentally altering agency value propositions and requiring new coordination frameworks that balance technological efficiency with human creativity.

The agency landscape is experiencing unprecedented transformation driven by artificial intelligence adoption, creator economy integration, and the collapse of traditional partnership models. This white paper examines emerging trends reshaping how brands coordinate integrated holding company teams alongside specialized creative and AI/tech studios.
