May 2008: Kimberlie Dykeman Creates Partnership with Phenix & Phenix Publicity to Launch Online Author Interview Series May 13, 2008

Patience is a virtue and Kimberlie Dykeman proves again, she’s got plenty of it! Almost a year since first approaching Phenix & Phenix Publicity to create an on-camera media/online marketing tool, entitled “Shelf Life”, to showcase their authors, Dykeman and the nationally-renowned publicity firm have signed a deal. In planning a cutting-edge marketing strategy for her own upcoming book, Pure Soapbox, Dykeman sought out Phenix & Phenix to test drive her concept of crafting on-camera author interviews to secure publicity at the highest levels of media hubs, from CNBC to Oprah.
“Seeing and hearing an author speak of how their book came to be and their own interesting history literally breathes life into the pages! Now media decision-makers can more confidently and more readily offer TV and radio interview spots to authors, knowing who indeed is showing up to delight their audiences,” says Dykeman. “After all, time is money, folks. And on-air time is big-bucks for the media and priceless for the author!”

Carrying the titles of both Executive Producer and Host, Dykeman researched the best of Austin’s production companies and online venue prospects to complete the team that would bring this idea to fruition. The up-and-coming author herself pulled in the acclaimed AMS Production Group and the online network rising star, Web2point0.tv, and as of June 2008, Phenix & Phenix will officially launch their Video Viral Marketing & Online Publicity Campaign. Dykeman’s talks with Web2point0.tv, powered by ProAce Technology, include the establishing of a Literature Channel, to be populated with exclusive author interviews hosted by Kimberlie Dykeman, and commencing with Phenix & Phenix’s new and recognized authors.
