About
Jet Set Studio was established in 2007 to support the launch of our video game community at www.GatheringofGamers.com. As this unique social network for gamers grew, it was determined that LIVE video game events would be an opportunity to connect real people into our online community. Since then, Jet Set Studio has expanded its capabilities, continued to enhance the company’s connectivity, and now offers professional Video Game Event Management around the world.
Working with top organizations such as Microsoft, BlackBerry, Massive Inc., MLG, Brocade, Central Michigan University, Focus Fire, and Boston’s Pizza at video game events around North America, Jet Set Studio has propelled its event management and tournament development services to new heights. Our skilled team is committed to building a long lasting, beneficial, and profitable relationship with your organization. Contact Us today and let’s get the conversation started.
“Jet Set” is defined as wealthy and fashionable people who travel widely and frequently for pleasure.
Ben McDougal, President of Jet Set Studio, has been in web development since receiving his Computer Science degree in 2004. After residing in California and considering a full-time career in video game development, BEN fell into the Internet and has enjoyed working in the web development industry since 2004. Now in the position of Sales Manager at the largest web design firm in Iowa, BEN has a unique spectrum of experience experience with hundreds of different business markets.
As an entrepreneur managing two full time positions, BEN first developed a full-scale outdoor 3v3 soccer event in 2006 that averaged over 80 teams. With the growth of Jet Set Studio and needing to shift his focus to the video gaming and web development industries, BEN transitioned his ownership of this tournament to a Des Moines area soccer club in 2008. The Iowa 3v3 Soccer Challenge is a great example of this company’s ability to manage a very large event, while still focusing on unmatched quality. This is how the video game event management services of Jet Set Studio originated.
Jet Set Studio became a reality when two friends, Ben McDougal and Andy Gaumer, had a concept to build an online community just for people who loved video games like they did.
BEN and Andy worked to develop industry connections, spread the word about GatheringofGamers.com, and organized the company’s unique video game event management services. Without BEN, Andy, GoG community members like RyuBlitz, Derno, Im Marksman, Dynafire, JackDaniels624, Kupo Cakes, RxySurfChic, JohnBiz, A-Thon X, SweetIceCream, Reventertain, and so many others who rose up through GatheringofGamers.com; this company would not be where it is today. We are also very thankful for the ongoing dedication of family and friends. In 2009, BEN purchased Andy’s shares of the company and has expanded the operation to new heights.
Today, Jet Set Studio continues to represent the polished and driven passions of many individuals. As an experienced company, Jet Set Studio is excited to continue offering online advertising opportunities, industry connectivity, and our video game event management which is most clearly represented by The Iowa Pro Gaming Challenge.
Jet Set Studio has the confidence and experience to deliver a unique service to your company!
