How the fans will enjoy Wimbledon Championship 2021
The Wimbledon was canceled last year, as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. To make amends, Wimbledon will not leave the fans with anything to complain about this time around. The organizers have decided to allow fans at 50% capacity for regular matches and a full crowd for the finals.
The fans will surely require something to quench their thirst this summer, and what is better than a glass of London dry gin.

Sipsmith has also launched a new campaign for the summer event. The gin maker has joined hands with Ogilvy to make an ad with their stop-motion character, Mr. Swan. The above tweet shows the minute-long ad, beautifully crafted for showing the partnership between the two forces. Mr. Swan has made a comeback for the brand with this ad.
“It’s a delightful celebration of two quintessential brands that go to extraordinary lengths to delight their clientele. A shared attention to detail, combined with Mr Swan’s idiosyncratic quirks make this not only the perfect partnership, but a lot of fun too, which is what we?ve tried to capture with Mr Swan and his partner, Ani,” said Shelly Macintyre, Senior Global Marketing Director, Gin, of Beam Suntory.
