"Casting for Big Ideas" ist das einzige Buch zum Thema Werbung, das sich mit der Leitung einer Werbeagentur auseinandersetzt. Es basiert auf der langjährigen Praxiserfahrung und dem engen Netz persönlicher Kontakte des Autors. Andrew Jaffe - Altvater der Werbebranche - präsentiert hier wichtige Lektionen zu Management und Erfolg einer Werbeagentur. Er macht deutlich, dass das Geschäftsmodell von vor 40 Jahren heute ausgedient hat, in einer Zeit, in der Kürzungen des Werbebudgets an der Tagesordnung sind und immer neue Formen externer Marketing Services und Strategien gefragt sind. Anhand der Metapher des Fliegenfischens beschreibt er einen Ansatz für langfristiges und beständiges Wachstum in dieser äußerst wettbewerbsintensiven und wechselhaften Branche, die ja gerade von kurzfristigen Erfolgen profitiert. Das Buch behandelt das Thema von einer Management-orientierten Perspektive unter dem Motto 'Zurück zu den Ideen', das von führenden modernen Autoren, wie Sergio Zyman und Mark Earls bereits postuliert wird. Enthalten sind Interviews mit führenden Köpfen von Top-Werbeagenturen wie z.B. Bob Schmetterer von Euro RSCG, Lazarus von Ogilvy und Jean-Marie Dru von TWBA. "Casting for Big Ideas": Der ultimative Ratgeber für Agenturchefs, die sich im modernen Geschäftsumfeld behaupten wollen.

In the case studies that make up the bulk of this book, middle and high school history teachers describe the decisions and plans and the problems and possibilities they encountered as they ratcheted up their instruction through the use of big ideas. Framing a teaching unit around a question such as 'Why don't we know anything about Africa?' offers both teacher and students opportunities to explore historical actors, ideas, and events in ways both rich and engaging. Such an approach exemplifies the construct of ambitious teaching, whereby teachers demonstrate their ability to marry their deep knowledge of subject matter, students, and the school context in ways that fundamentally challenge the claim that history is 'boring.'
