About Me
I'm Benjamin Richmond — founder of BJR Works.
I help businesses build and deliver licensed partnerships that create genuine commercial value — from identifying the right IP opportunity through to structuring the deal, negotiating terms and managing delivery through to activation.
My background spans the full licensing ecosystem: I've worked as a licensee, a licensor and an agency partner, across entertainment, FMCG and experiential IP. That three-sided experience gives me a rare understanding of how expectations, incentives and pressures differ on each side of a partnership — and why so many licensed deals lose momentum after they're signed.
I've led licensing and partnership projects with global brands, production houses and sourcing teams across Europe, the Far East and North America — generating millions in licensing revenue, driving significant royalty growth and delivering award-winning activations in retail, food & beverage and consumer products.
BJR Works exists to bring that experience to businesses that need structured, commercially grounded licensing support — whether that's originating the right deal, negotiating the right terms, or ensuring delivery actually matches what was promised.
My approach is calm, detail-driven and commercially grounded. I focus on long-term value, not short-term wins.
And I stay close to the work — ensuring every stage is aligned, compliant and moving forward with purpose.
At every stage, I focus on clarity, structure and considered delivery. No noise, no over-promising — just disciplined processes and thoughtful guidance that help licensees move from opportunity to execution with confidence.
If you’re looking for support that combines operational clarity with an understanding of how licensors think and operate, I’d love to speak.
