Check-In CES: U.S. Postal Service

The battle to maintain relevance in the digital age

While no one wants to admit it, there’s a lot of underlying tension at CES. Mega-corporations are sizing up the competition before another year of one-upmanship while startups drop their entire marketing budget for one chance at making it big. This is why I always appreciate the thoroughly entertaining and inexplicably out-of-place United States Postal Service booth. From Marilyn Monroe impersonators to full-sized basketball hoops, the connections back to mail are tenuous at best, but they always strive to bring something which gets people talking.

This irreverent atmosphere overshadows the inclusion of more substantive demonstrations, such as last year’s partnership with Aurasma.
