Before travelling to Barcelona, Myself and Bobby researched into studios that we liked the look of and created work similar to what we wanted to create. We also considered other studios that created other things to get a broader outlook on the design culture in Barcelona.
In talks with John Watters a University Tutor, I asked him about the best ways to contact international studios. Below are the emails we sent.
His advice was to speak in both languages (spanish - english) which would show consideration for their culture. I never would have thought of doing it that was but this was a really good thing to consider and I will continue to consider this method when speaking to international agencies.

Overview
After speaking to John about the visits to Barcelona, he gave us some great advice about contacting the agencies through speaking Spanish and English to show consideration and to also show the studios that we are aware in the Spanish culture. Due to the time of year the studio were very busy which is understanding and considering the time frame in which we contacted the studios this could have been done much more in advance. However out of all the studios we contact we had one confirmed visit and contact with two others which is something to look forward to.
