I have a great project for this coming up. We are a large US manufacturer and we have one brand that does 100 million annually. When I get back to my office in Princeton I plan on creating such a campaign on this platform.

We are thinking for proof of concept to purchase a large block of Steem so that participants may see we are able to fund their efforts.

We believe with our consumer product line and the press we recieve as a result we can tell both the story of our brand, as well as the story of steemit.

Since @ned is based in NYC perhaps we could work on doing a project together. In the past we have engaged 1000s of bloggers for our initiatives through affiliate, but believe in the future of Blockchain distribution through micropayments. We are a big fan of Fred Wilson.

Our other brand can do 50 million without the steemit platform and through traditional methods. With a system like you reference here in this article we can accelerate growth and bring national attention to the platform.

I have engaged the principals of our company on the idea. They had a hard time understanding affiliate marketing, but have seen the results. They trust my judgement as an ecommerce executive and we will run an internal skunkworks project on this platform.

Great post.
