International Superstar Pink Rocks in Tel Aviv, Israel at a Private Event for a Russian Client

Tel Aviv, Israel

December 2007

In late November 2007, a private Russian client contacted Empire for help with an exclusive friends & family concert to be held in Tel Aviv, Israel in January 2008. After extensive consultations with the client and a review of available artists, Empire helped to eventually guide the client toward a concert with international superstar, Pink.Due to the last minute nature of the inquiry and the intervening holidays, the deal for Pink's performance had to be worked out among a far flung community of key participants.

On the day the offer was placed, Pink was in Colorado, her manager was in Australia, her agent was in Los Angeles, Empire was in New York, Pink's production manager was in London, her band was dispersed throughout the United States, while the client was in Israel and the client's attorney was in London. Empire deftly brought together all of the participants and managed to confirm the deal with just 12 days remaining prior to the concert. The paperwork was signed by a client officer in Cyprus and the funds were wired from Moscow. With only 12 days to go, Empire coordinated with its' Israeli partners and Pink's camp on a 24/7 basis. Empire organized all Israeli work permits and immigration matters, arranged a sit-down production advance meeting in London, coordinated the international air freight of band gear and lighting equipment thru immigration and security, executed all contracts and international fund transfers, managed a strategy for dealing with Israeli paparazzi, coordinated all hotel accommodations and ground transportation, and fulfilled all Pink production rider requirements with a variety of vendors and subcontractors.

To ensure maximum cooperation with the artist for current and future events, Empire always makes a point of developing personal relationships with the band, road & production management and this experience was no different – Empire personnel bonded with Pink and her band and crew over dinners, local theater performances and a tour of Jerusalem to create a greater basis for collaboration. The net result was that Pink delivered a high energy, 75 minute show, that left the client and the audience of almost 2000 guests delighted and the crowd screaming for more. Pink's full band set included all of her greatest hits including "Mr. President," "Just Like a Pill," and "Get the Party Started."
