ITSme Launches Learning Platform
Welcome to ITSme Learning! We are pleased to announce that our team has been hard at work creating free educational content for creators. We are sharing educational video tutorials, illustration and writing tips across all industries, and exclusive interviews with top international agents. We are also debuting a series of blogs and articles for you to refer to when you need some creative inspiration, skill building information, or industry advice.
Do you have a topic you would like us to cover in our free learning series?
Email or DM us!
We are working with top industry professionals from 7 different agencies: Advocate Art, Astound US In, Yeon Agency, Illo Agency, Artistique International, Caroline Wakeman Literary Agency, and Collaborate Agency.
By partnering with these agencies, we are working directly with those who have their finger on the pulse of their specialty market. Interested in cover art? We have the agents briefing artists toward best selling covers. Picture books? We have agents who are constantly topping the charts on the best sellers lists, and continue to get their artists and authors work with publishing houses big and boutique. Interested in breaking into advertising? We have agents who work on campaigns for Nike, Lyft, Ariana Grande, and more. How about greeting cards? Our agents have active contracts with big name companies such as American Greetings, and GC companies internationally.
Connect with us: subscribe to our Youtube channel or our Newsletter, and follow us on Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook.
