South Africa stands proud; being the first country to ever host a blockchain crowdfunded billboard campaign flighted in August 2016 by the @steemdrive initiative on the Steemit Blockchain Social Media Platform; where content creators get paid to blog and publish noteworthy content, as well as for participating in curation voting of the varied content of other community authors.

With the help of advertising partners, Outdoor Network, the @steemdrive billboard campaign has successfully flighted two digital billboards ([as per initial proof of flight blog post](https://steemit.com/steemit/@steemdrive/steemdrive-first-proof-of-successful-crowdfunded-billboard-flight-in-durban-south-africa)) and now officially the first Spectacular size 5M x 20M billboard, flighted on the 23rd of August 2016 in Durban’s South Coast region, on the M4 highway just before the Jacobs, Quality Street on-ramp.

I am proud to have realised the South African Steemit billboard campaign in its entirety, and look forward to the proof of flight posts for Chicago and New Zealand shortly. The billboard campaign truly is a spectacular way to unite the Steemit community and showcase what the platform can do.
