Would 'stuff' be an appropriate synonym?

To the extent that you can assign arbitrarily specific meaning to any word as long as others know to decode it, you could in theory find and replace "creative" with "stuff" in our language and records.

But otherwise "stuff" is an ambiguous term and "creative" is industry jargon.

Perhaps if you're a 19th Century tailor!?
