Description
Mustang is a symbol of self-expression. For decades, people have taken the Pony, and made it their own. But at Ford, the Pony has always been protected. Unchanged. Until now.
Introducing the Pony Personalizer. For the first time ever, Mustang owners could make their own personal Mustang. Designed seamlessly on facebook, owners poured their identity into the pony. Once designed, fans were able to put their ponies on hoodies, hats, T-shirts and ultimately as real emblems on the front of their Mustangs. In return, we released them into the wild. Celebrating our owners’ individuality in every piece of communication that went out. To date, over 85,000 personalized ponies have been created, Spread across the country. From Billboards and murals to tv and print.
