"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.

Community Christian Church embraced the Big Idea and everything changed. They decided to avoid the common mistake of bombarding people with so many “little ideas” that they suffered overload. They also recognized that leaders often don’t insist that the truth be lived out to accomplish Jesus’ mission. Why? Because people’s heads are swimming with too many little ideas, far more than they can ever apply.The Big Idea can help you creatively present one laser-focused theme each week to be discussed in families and small groups. The Big Idea shows how to engage in a process of creative collaboration that brings people together and maximizes missional impact. The Big Idea can energize a church staff and bring alignment and focus to many diverse church ministries. This book shows how the Big Idea has helped Community Christian Church better accomplish the Jesus mission and reach thousands of people in nine locations and launch a church planting network with partner churches across the country.This book is part of the Leadership Network Innovation Series.

Is there a distinctly Canadian Shakespeare? What is the status and function of Shakespeare in various locations within the nation: at Stratford, on CBC radio, in regional and university theatres, in Canadian drama and popular culture? Shakespeare in Canada brings insights from a little explored but extensive archive to contemporary debates about the cultural uses of Shakespeare and what it means to be Canadian. Canada's long history of Shakespeare productions and reception, including adaptations, literary reworkings, and parodies, is analysed and contextualized within the four sections of the book. A timely addition to the growing field that studies the transnational reach of Shakespeare across cultures, this collection examines the political and cultural agendas invoked not only by Shakespeare's plays, but also by his very name. In part a historical and regional survey of Shakespeare in performance, adaptation, and criticism, this is the first work to engage Shakespeare with distinctly Canadian debates addressing nationalism, separatism, cultural appropriation, cultural nationalism, feminism, and postcolonialism.
