The US Postal Service has announced “Mark of the Eagle” four “webisodes” – four episodes of a Web video, okay? Anyway, there’s an extremely fancy Flash-based Web site, but it’s just showcasing stuff that’s posted on YouTube. You can go straight to the YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/markoftheeagle .
There’s a marketing message at the end, of course, but the first episode gets into what happens when machines attack and a postal carrier becomes The Hero That Will Save Mankind.
It’s interesting to see the Postal Service — delivering bits of paper, that’s a really offline job — trying with the online marketing. And the video was created in-house by postal service employees. And the guy who gets his tie shredded looks like Stephen Baldwin when he was in New Eden.
