Industry Consultant

"As a UNESCO national commissioner and participant in many conventions, conferences, and showcases, I can say that your efforts could not have been more timely or effective, given the need for unity and healing and to reassure the world that music still has the magical power of healing. Artificial Intelligence (Sophia and Desdemona’s) participation pulled everything together, representing, past, present and future and throughout the Boutique, the collective creativity of so many talented people was bursting at the seams!"

“Follow-through is the name of the game for Jamie Gale. This coupled with his understanding of luthiers and overall guitar market makes him ideal company to keep for anyone wanting to pair their efforts with clients on a global scale.”

“Jamie Gale has emerged as the Boutique Guitar market’s biggest force.”

“I invited Jamie to Newark College in England to deliver a lecture to our students about marketing hand built guitars after attending a seminar he conducted at the European Guitar Builders symposium in Berlin. It is often difficult for artists and craftspeople to think about marketing effectively without feeling that they are selling out or compromising their honesty. Jamie’s approach shows you can do this effectively with 100% integrity by harnessing your own passions and focusing on yourself and your motivation more than on the products you make. Both sessions left me and the student feeling inspired and eager to have another look at our own marketing.”

“Jamie, you’re a blue chip.”

“The most innovative guitars showcased by the most innovating people. Jamie Gale is a truly inspiring man!”

“Jamie was instrumental in helping us envision a new way for luthiers to engage with a global media and buying audience at NAMM Shows. He is a consummate proffessional, always applying a creative, forward-thinking, solution-oriented approach to any task at hand. He has been a great asset to the NAMM team.”

“We’ve been a proud supporter of the growing Boutique Guitar Showcase since its inception. Jamie and his team attract the best in the business and execute their events and programs with an industry leading high standard of quality and professionalism. Partnerships of this kind are hard to come by and we are honored.”

“Jamie Gale has had his finger on the Boutique Guitar market’s pulse for awhile, now he’s become the pulse.”

“Jamie Gale is the pre-eminent authority on the guitar. His clear vision on the future of the instrument given his in-depth knowledge of it’s history coupled with his un-precedented network of luthiers, player, dealers, and enthusiasts make him a go-to resource for the fretted.”

“Jamie Gale thinks outside of the box. As a matter of fact, he has redefined the box… His approach to the marketing of guitars reflects his passion for and deep understanding of the instrument.”

“Jamie and his team attract the best in the business.”

I’ve had the great pleasure to work with Jamie Gale on several projects in the past few years. Jamie makes things HAPPEN, which is a truly rare and crucial talent. Simultaneously, he is enthusiastic and curious about ideas that link guitar design, musicians, technology, philosophy, history, and more: he is an incredible spirit and person to work, brainstorm and invent with. And most importantly, he’s a tireless supporter of the artists he works with: guitar builders, designers, musicians. The Boutique Guitar Showcase is a testament to this -- bringing the work of some of the most innovative guitar builders in the world to a really diverse range of audiences internationally. This has been a fabulous platform for the luthiers, of course, and also the guitarists and collectors who play and own these remarkable instruments. The respect and value Jamie has for these artists is at the core of his work. His curation is driven by a vision to bring brilliant instruments, art and music to the world.

Jamie brought insights and experiences to every conversation and offered such a unique perspective that ultimately helped shape the direction, and that delivered such a positive impact to the A3E experience. Jamie's depth of subject matter expertise augmented by his ability to see the future impact of technology created a perfect fit for A3E's efforts to explore "The Future of Music + Entertainment Technology™". As if this was not enough, Jamie's charisma, command of the topics, and his ability to communicate with all levels of audience and group intellect, created some of the best session reviews A3E has ever received! Loved having Jamie part of our world!

“Jamie Gale thinks outside of the box. As a matter of fact, he has redefined the box… His approach to the marketing of guitars reflects his passion for and deep understanding of the instrument.”

“Jamie is, indeed, writing the future! The future of guitars, but also the future of people who have the chance to engage with him. It is always a privilege to share thoughts and get enlighted by his vision, passion, values and joy.”
