Here are some kind words from people who have worked with Gabriel and the team…
“I’ve known and worked with Gabriel for over 10 years, and I’ve worked with him in different capacities over those years – both reporting to Gabriel, and as his client. I’ve worked closely with him in areas ranging from international television distribution, covering sales markets like Mipcom and EFM, as well as strategic planning for multi-city, thousand-room studio roll-outs with Pirate.com. And most recently, I’ve leaned into his experience in areas of music-audience acquisition by having him consult with our North American marketing team. Gabriel always brings fresh thinking that’s rooted in actual hands-on experience. I intend to continue collaborating with him well into the future – and highly recommend him.”
—Sammi Alani, VP Pirate North America
“Gabriel Gornell is one of JA’s favourite people to consult and collaborate with. Not only is he hugely knowledgeable about music, events, TV & film, social media, brands, sponsorship and devising cutting edge 360˚ strategies, he is calm and approachable and despite a fair few years in the industry, has retained his enthusiasm and passion which is a breath of fresh air.”
—Julie Jakobek, Founder JA Films
“During my time at Mandolin, I had the absolute pleasure of working with Gabriel on a multi-tiered music event which wrangled several media touch-points at once including a Live IRL event, Direct-to-Fan live-stream, Metaverse Experience, Artist integrations, Socials, PR, Purpose, Marketing, Merch, Incentives, etc. Gabriel demonstrates exceptional organization, leadership and a calm, solution-oriented approach during complicated, high pressure situations – which is always a breath of fresh air and greatly appreciated. Though perhaps his most unique trait is the energy and attitude he brings into every engagement. Given the opportunity, I’d look forward to working with him again! ”
—Joe Aiello, Product Director at Ticketmaster
“Gabe did a great job on a very ambitious live, televised national primetime awards show, without a lot of the resources you’d normally find with such projects. Gabe’s resourcefulness and creativity allowed us to present a Daytime Emmy Awards show that was fast-paced, entertaining, multi-platform and successful with our audiences and sponsors. Not only was Gabe’s show a top Twitter trend that night, it delivered one of the largest audiences for a non-news event in our network’s history.”
—Scot Safon, former Network GM, HLN and CMO, CNN
