Lisa Messenger (born 1971) is an Australian entrepreneur and author. She is the owner and creative director of marketing for The Messenger Group, a book publishing company, and the founder and Editor in Chief of Collective Hub, a magazine.[1][2]
Career
[edit]Messenger founded The Messenger Group in 2001 in Sydney, brokering sponsorship deals and doing public relations and marketing.[1] Collective was launched in 2013 with $1.5 million of her own money, as an "entrepreneurial and lifestyle" print magazine, alongside a website and events company.[3] In 2015, Collective was distributed in 37 countries.[1]
In October 2017, the Group announced that this flagship publication would shift from monthly to bi-monthly after "several redundancies as the business streamlines itself around the three key pillars of print, digital and events."[4]
On 26 March 2018, Messenger announced that the print edition would close. Messenger also closed the Sydney office.[5] Financial and creative reasons were given, and she wrote a book about the process.[6] Several months later, the print edition was reinstated, although with one-off issues and freelance contracts for a smaller number of journalists.[7]
Books
[edit]Messenger has written several lifestyle and business books. Most are published by her own company, although Daring & Disruptive was also published by Simon & Schuster.[8][9] Her self-help and entrepreneurship books discuss personal challenges as well as business. She was married and divorced, and as detailed in her 2016 books, was engaged to an entrepreneur in 2015.[1][10] In 2023, her friend acted as a surrogate mother of her son.[11]
