Advent played a supporting role as Oscar winners Dame Judi Dench and Sir Kenneth Branagh visited Stratford-upon-Avon to receive the honour of “Freemen” of the town – and celebrated in ancient style.

The pair exercised their right as “Freemen” by herding sheep along Sheep Street after unveiling a restored 18th-century statue of Shakespeare.

The day was organised by Stratford Town Council and Advent was commissioned to produce media in the lead up to the event, invite press, and arrange a photocall.

Major news channels, media organisations and newspapers covered the event resulting in around 250 press clippings from across the UK and internationally.
