Our New York event photographers were presented with a very exciting opportunity last month to photograph the opening event at the 8th annual Advertising Week!

On October 3rd, Madison Avenue’s Annual Advertising Week kick-off started with a bang as the MySpace AMP’d Up Opening Concert performed at the Best Buy Theater.

Gruber Photographers’ Maike and Mindy were thrilled to be the lucky New York event photographs for the entire event. From start to finish they covered the pre-show press conference, the backstage VIP area, and the excited crowd enjoying performances from artists Natasha Bedingfield, Far East Movement, and B.o.B. But the main event seemed to take place during the pre-show press conference when Justin Timberlake, MySpace’s newest creative director, took the mic and gave his insight on the social networking and music sharing website’s future.

While Justin Timberlake didn’t stick around too long for the concert, we still captured the MySpace owners, brothers Chris and Tim Vanderhook enjoying the concert with their wives, and mingling with Billboard Editorial staffers, Advertising Week executives, and the MySpace marketing team.

Our New York event photographers enjoy being a part of social and corporate events in addition to the personal milestones that make up our signature Gruber Photographers images. We are honored that MySpace contacted us to capture the concert to relaunch the MySpace website and the vision they have for their brand.
