Liam M Birkett

Biography

Liam Birkett is changing the way many people and firms do business. No matter the size of the firm or the budget, his refreshing enthusiasm, insight and expertise create business ideas and turns them into reality.

Liam began in office management before moving into sales and marketing. He was involved in the launch of Mace and VG group in Ireland. His experience extends into wholesale, retail, cash and carry, and consultancy on a national and international basis.

He worked for advertising agency O’Kennedy Brindley Advertising (which became Saatchi & Saatchi) before co-founding design and marketing consultancy Bernardini, Birkett & Gardner Ltd. For more than 20 years, his firm was responsible for corporate identities and marketing initiatives for blue-chip companies and SMEs.

His unique skill is to see matters from a design, marketing and sales perspective. Coupled with his comprehensive understanding of intellectual property, Liam can generate a unique way of looking at existing or new business opportunities.

Many people have good ideas, products or services but do not have the ability to commercialise them. In the absence of a worthwhile promotional fund, they cannot obtain essential media exposure. Liam can show them how to do it. Being the creator of brands and an inventor himself, he has ‘been there, done that’.

Liam is sought out as a pundit on intellectual property matters and has been repeatedly asked to speak to university classes, business groups and professional bodies, both national and international.

He is a consultant expert to the European Commission Framework Programme and past president of the Society of Designers in Ireland.

Smashwords Interview

What's the story behind your latest book?
My aim is to help all those who want to launch a new business or refresh an existing one, as well as those who think they could be an inventor. I do this by making the processes easy to read and understand. Legal jargon is avoided and a step by step route to success is clearly and simply set out.

One book concentrated on how to brand and protect a business or service.
The latest book shows how everyone can be an inventor and the means to protecting that invention.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
For many years I gave seminars and workshops internationally. My content, and delivery, makes the subject matter very
accessible to the audience. In addition, everything is based on personal experiences, This comes through to everyone because my talks are packed with examples of what I have done and achieved. At the end of each gathering I would be approached by numerous attendees asking if I had written a book on all of the topics I covered.

I had to confess I did not.

Eventually, this embarrassment, drove me to write my first book, relating to trade marks/branding. The successful take-up of it encouraged me to write the second one, on inventions.
