We have the most adorable ad campaign of 2013: Shetland ponies in cardigans
Skift Take
Top that, Koala bears!
Earlier today we mentioned a new “ad campaign” that VisitScotland has just started, a photo shoot involving a couple of Shetland ponies wearing eye-catching cardigans. These ponies-in-cardigans meme launches the “Year of Natural Scotland 2013” this year for the tourism board, and are very likely to be a hit for their adorableness factor.
