			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://kimberliedykeman.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/derm-logo2.jpg"></a>As long as people keep watching TV and the web to learn before they buy…<a href="http://www.youtube.com/kimberliedykeman">Kimberlie Dykeman</a> will be a very busy on-camera personality!  It began with commercials, then infomercials, and now Kimberlie is officially graduating to live TV shopping networks.  She is both excited and honored to have been chosen as a Spokesperson for <a href="http://www.dermelect.com/">Dermelect</a>, a New York based cosmeceutical company that is making a name for itself with an exceptional skincare line that doesn’t follow the trends.  Founded in 2006 by Amos Lavian, Dermelect has making waves in the media, tapping everything from social media to national conferences to educate the public and earn their loyalty through fantastic results they can see in the mirror.  Now prepared to enter the arena of live shopping networks, Dermelect inked Kimberlie as a spokesperson for the coming year, to represent the company on ShopNBC live shows and in the press.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dermelect is not a “me too” kind of skincare line, nor do they claim to match the results of Botox, needles or invasive procedures.  They give clients an honest approach to skincare and offer cutting-edge, targeted solutions for key areas of concern.  Unlike many other skincare products, Dermelect is the first cosmeceutical line jointly formulated by medical professionals including<strong> </strong>a facial plastic surgeon, dermatologists, estheticians, celebrity skin care specialists, a bridal skin care specialist, a top hand model and even a top asthma specialist.   Research plus amazing ingredients have yielded products that are effective, if not multifunctional in their treatment.  And all products are not only effective and luxurious, but also universal –offering obtainable results for any kind of skin category.  Net-net: Dermelect is an innovative skincare line that simplifies one&#8217;s beauty cabinet with affordable, multi-tasking, targeted products.</p>
<p>“I’m jazzed to be representing a company like Dermelect, who puts its customers’ greatest concerns on the top of its priority list.  Of course, I’m equally enthused to enter the world of live TV, especially on ShopNBC, an industry leader.  I think folks who tune in will easily relate to me, seeing that I am not an 18-year old model who has yet to fear the mirror in the morning!  Working with Dermelect and ShopNBC offers me another great opportunity to extend my reach of influencing the public to create positive changes in their own lives.”  ~KD</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #33cccc;"><span style="color: #33cccc;"><strong><span style="color: #33cccc;"><a href="www.confida.us" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1074" title="minilogo2" src="http://kimberliedykeman.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/minilogo21-150x39.png" alt="" width="150" height="39" /></a></span></strong></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Kimberlie has signed on as the Spokesperson, Director of Marketing and Executive Media Producer of <a href="http://www.confida.us" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #cc9900;">CONFIDA</span></strong></a>, an Austin-based counterfeit detection and intervention company that is indeed on the rise and gaining steam as it launches its full line of products and services online and reaches out to developing even larger customers globally.  In addition to serving as the company’s spokesperson and public persona, Kimberlie is also applying her branding and marketing expertise to create, produce and host all video-based marketing and educational videos for product packaging, web marketing, and PR. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Specializing  in counterfeit transactions, <a href="http://www.confida.us" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #cc9900;">CONFIDA</span></strong></a> has built a solid reputation for offering unparalleled detection and authentication products, hands-on service and customer education that collectively can protect both businesses and their customers from the frustration and trauma of counterfeiting crimes.  </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Just how big is this problem?</strong>  Counterfeiting of cash, credit cards, check and IDs is a growing epidemic that costs businesses billions of dollars every year, impacting hard-working employees, loyal customers and communities at large.</p>
<ul>
<li>Over $200 billion in counterfeit U.S. money is manufactured each year.</li>
<li>Credit card fraud is the #1 form of Identity Theft and Americans #1 fear</li>
<li>In 2010 there were $100 billion in fraudulent credit card transactions …costing insurers and merchants $8.6 billion in fees and fines</li>
<li>Over 750,000 jobs have been lost because of counterfeiting and piracy</li>
<li>42 percent of  fraudulent purchases are made in person</li>
<li>1 in every 20 Americans risks being a victim of identity theft</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“Over the years I have represented hundreds of companies in short-lived projects, like media interviews, TV shows, live engagements and infomercials,” says Dykeman. “But I have always wanted to sink my teeth into an enduring spokesperson role with a company whose mission and work will have a truly global impact. <span style="color: #cc9900;"><strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/confidatv" target="_blank"><span style="color: #800080;">CONFIDA</span></a></strong></span> is a perfect example of how I can extend my reach of positively influencing the public in a whole new marketplace.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">2011 began with a bang, as <span style="color: #cc9900;"><strong>Kimberlie Dykeman</strong></span> achieved her goal of attaining a literary agency to represent her future <span style="color: #cc9900;">SOAPBOX®</span> publications.  A latest update from her agent Chip MacGregor, founder of Oregon-based <a href="http://www.macgregorliterary.com/" target="_blank"><strong>MacGregor Literary</strong></a>, has close to a dozen leading New York publishing houses reading and considering her manuscripts for her next books.  On top of it, next month the MacGregor team is heading to the world-renowned annual <a href="http://www.bookexpoamerica.com" target="_blank">Book Expo America </a>(BEA) held in NYC with strong faith in securing a book deal for the <span style="color: #cc9900;">SOAPBOX®</span> Queen! </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Kimberlie will follow her freshman book, “<a href="http://www.puresoapbox.com/"><span style="color: #cc9900;"><strong>PURE</strong> <strong>SOAPBOX</strong></span></a>”, with the <strong><span style="color: #cc9900;">SOAPBOX®</span> mini-series of motivation</strong>… a small-book series that speaks to and delivers realistic optimism to folks based on their phase of life.  With manuscripts completed for both stressed-out entrepreneurs and burned-out 9-to-5ers, she is hard at work penning her signature <span style="color: #cc9900;">SOAPBOX®</span> vignettes specifically for wet-behind-the-ears graduates!  This year Kimberlie re-crafted her speaking platform to address the educational and emotional needs of college students and has witnessed a warm-welcome to her seize-the-day bite-sized gems of forward-thinking, optimistic life lessons&#8230;making this a viable category of readers for her next book.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“We all started off as frazzled freshmen at one time, leaving the safe hub of home for campus life, and ended up college grads facing the reality-check of a lifetime!”  says Kimberlie.  “This generation’s experience of entering “today’s real working world” is a <a href="http://www.womensradio.com/episodes/Inspiring-Gen-Y-to-Live-Full-Lives/5569.html">downright grueling transition</a> without the right support, attitude, and tools.  I feel a string calling to be catalytic in the lives of our next generation of leaders, teaching students to think, work, learn and live with more purpose, less anxiety and unshakable optimism for their futures.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As Kimberlie&#8217;s scope and capabilities continue to grow, Kimberlie Dykeman Enterprises has sought to establish key relationships, mentors and inside help.  A solid new addition to the  team is Texas-born Jessica Cain, whose background is as diverse as her boss’s, including experience in the realms of real estate, video production and marketing.  Jessica serves the key role of executive assistant, with a keen focus on building relationships with Texas colleges and universities and mid-to-large-sized companies to secure Kimberlie as their go-to resource to <a href="http://puresoapbox.com/speaking/">create an ongoing culture of <strong><em>optimism!</em></strong><em> </em></a><em> </em></p>
