In answer to a common question: Marina Bertolino is the person who had an idea, envisioned an opportunity, brought a team together and produced a children’s book series based on road transport within Australia. Marina Bertolino is the irrepressible creative force behind the beautiful Berty Button Kids book series which brings happiness to children around Australia. More important to Marina however, is that the books are capturing childrens’ imagination and igniting renewed interest to read and write via value based learning and ‘pure-bred Aussie’ trucking adventures. As a passionate and committed advocate of children’s literacy and numeracy, Marina acknowledges the vital role inspiring teachers and role models play in childrens’ education, particularly in the case of her own daughter.  Marina’s extensive business experience as a road transport executive, has been acquired not only around Australia but also in Europe. She has capably managed and built up a number of successful businesses in a variety of industries such as freight, construction and travel management.  Creating the emerging ‘Berty Button’ brand with its jellybean-covered Berty Button fleet, to then convert the eye-catching concept into a successful children’s book series is but one of Marina’s many accomplishments. Now happily settled with her family on the NSW-Victorian border (well it is Australia’s transport hub!) Marina has recruited some exceptionally talented people to carry on the great work of the Berty Button Kids Book Series and continues to evolve and further develop the brand.  A dynamic and empathetic entrepreneur, Marina is already planning her next ‘big thing’ but we can’t spill the beans on that just yet… with transport well and truly in her blood, Marina’s roadmap to success is clearly defined so hang on for the ride!
