The imperative to “respect the core traditions of the brand” often leads The UK’s All England Lawn Tennis Club (Wimbledon) to hold back on doing the sort of technology-driven, ‘in your face’ marketing and communications other operations might take for granted.

Alexandra tells Martyn Warwick that the club wants to use IoT to help “celebrate the subtleties and eccentricities of our brand.”
