Officer Howard, 31 years old and on the job three years, was driving a patrol car with a rookie he’d just met that day, Officer Philip Romano. It was a warm and cloudless Saturday afternoon. Miller took a bar stool beside the club owner and just came out and asked. So, a couple of years ago, very late one Saturday night - actually, already Sunday morning - after the crowd had thinned and the band had packed up, Mr. He wondered if it indeed could be true and, if so, found it shocking that it was not more widely known.

Andrew Jaffe (New Canaan, CT) is the founding Publishing Director of Wiley's Adweek and Brandweek books imprints.

This one-of-a-kind resource covers a subject often ignored-the business side of running an ad agency. Based on his long experience in the advertising industry, Jaffe offers practical advice and important lessons for agency heads who want their businesses to stand the test of time. If agencies are to survive, Jaffe says, they must become idea-focused again and, instead of just making ads, master the art of devising the kind of non-advertising-type promotions that more quickly move a brand into the culture.

In Casting for Big Ideas, Andrew Jaffe, industry veteran and Director of the Clio Awards, details important lessons on the management and growth of advertising agencies.
