Steemit, the world's first decentralized social media platform, has taken a major step forward in its evolution as a crypto company by hiring blockchain technology and marketing expert Mitchell Loureiro, who will pilot an entirely new growth strategy.

This strategy will utilize Steem's unique "proof-of-stake" system, which distributes ownership in the Steem protocol to anyone who adds value to blockchain, with crowdsourcing plans and proposals to expand and incorporate approved projects with traditional marketing.

New VP Marketing embarked on this strategy today and will lead the traditional digital and physical marketing campaign, but most importantly, empower every Steemit user to participate in drafting proposals, and develop projects designed to attract audiences around the world.

Steemit CEO Ned Scott said:

"The way Mitchell thinks to bring Steemit from a crypto-centric project to a household name is a genius, and fully reflects our innovative nature: decentralization, empowering the community, and providing incentives for community interaction."

"Mitchell has a remarkable background and has been rooted in blockchain since 2012. He is intelligent, has significant networks to capitalize on, and has an in-depth knowledge of the Steemit community.He is an expert on growth and entry at the right moment as we prepare for dramatic growth . "

"By leveraging the wisdom of the people to strengthen and multiply the impact of marketing efforts, we will build countless sub-communities, each giving incentives to grow until we join the ranks of social media giants.The main difference is that users are truly the true owners Steem and steemit.com. "
