Recent sketches...channeling bcn

G-Mex approach, Manchester
I'm having a few technical issues posting on the main Urban Sketchers homepage (which I'm hoping will soon be resolved) but thought in the meantime I would post here, as my recent work has definitely been inspired by Barcelona. I had a drawing expedition Thursday afternoon into Manchester city centre. Firstly a quick warm up sketch and then a couple of more ambitious cityscapes. Anyone who did James Richard's excellent workshop at bcn will probably recognise I'm channeling Placa Catalunya with the G-Mex drawing...I drew the foreground first then added the buildings behind. The square was crowded with Manchester City fans as G-Mex was hosting a pre-season launch event. Very gloomy dark Manchester skies and a lot of rather sombre Victorian buildings in brick and sandstone meant I found myself using a very limited colour palette throughout, what turned out to be, a very productive afternoon of sketching.
St Peter Square, Manchester
Here's a sketch from another miserable afternoon (weather-wise!), sketching with the Manchester group at the Whitworth Art Gallery. At the end of the session there was just time for a quick sketch and seemed a great opportunity to use non waterproof ink...thanks again to Norberto Dorrantes for a fabulous workshop!

Oxford Road, Manchester
Such a brilliant time in Barcelona, and I'm aware I only scratched the surface, so many people to meet, so much to inspire....so many new sketching friends. Until next time I wish you all well.

An expert agency will have lot of case studies where they have grown the other brands to million dollar sales making them the best among the Industry.

While most of the agencies won’t have any casestudy or else will come up with fake screenshot where they show that they have reduced ACOS and improved the ROAS. To makesure, you are working with a real agency, a real ppc agency will have case studies with video proof from the brand owners where they tell that certain agency has helped them to achieve their results successful and are happy to work with them.

You can always ask certain queries about the agency before you hiring them. First things are the real casestudies and the proofs, second thing is their contract agreement length and terms and conditions of it. Many of the big agencies will lock-in the brands more than 6 months which is not a wise advice and it is always advised to work with on-month or three-month contract agencies which will help to get better data about them within this time period.

Also a amazon ppc agency will clear explain their strategy and compared your product to those of the competitors and provide tips on how they are going to increase the sales, optimize the listing, budget required and all kind of necessary information which is required to succeed. Thus you can choose wisely an amazon agency which will help your brand to grow its sales.
