The Messenger Group

Lisa Messenger is the Owner and Creative Director of The Messenger Group and has worked globally in events, sponsorship, marketing, PR and publishing.

In 2004 she authored and produced a beautiful photographic book, Happiness Is…, which supported Kids Help Line. To avoid the constraints imposed by traditional publishers, she self-published the book and as a result developed a custom funding and distribution model that is unique in Australia.

Lisa’s passion is to challenge individuals and corporations to change the way they think, take them out of their comfort zone and prove that there is more than one way to do anything. She encourages entrepreneurial spirit, creativity and innovation. She is now using her unique marketing talents and innovative approach with entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs and people all over the globe.

With a marketing and PR background, Claire is a truly integrated and business focussed marketer. She is big on delivering results; whether it is helping to orchestrate one of the biggest brand partnerships the publishing industry has seen or coming up with creative and innovative ways for brands to engage with consumers, staff and communities.

With a BA in Media and Communications from Sydney University, Claire is always looking for the next big challenge that the industry has to throw at her. Determined and filled with positive thought, she is constantly aiming for the most effective, productive and inspiring results possible.

Claire’s infectious enthusiasm and collaborative approach ensure that she gets the work done with flair and creativity.

At the tender age of 18, Claire stepped into the world of publishing. 19 years have passed and in that time she has worked on a number of prestigious periodicals and has successfully published and designed two of her own publications.

Claire’s real talent lies in design and production management. The ability to take an idea from conception through to the end product is nothing short of a thrill for her. She combines a unique flair for design with a meticulous approach to detail which results in a balanced synergy of the creative and the rational. Claire uses a rigorous approach to stay true to the client’s vision and keep things on track. Meticulous in delivering her promises, Claire shares in the excitement of each project she manages, taking it on as though it were her own.

As soon as she was able to read, Theodora devoured every single book she could get her hands on. This love-affair with the written word, combined with an outgoing attitude and vibrant enthusiasm, resulted in a natural attraction to the world of publishing.

Theodora’s background in studies in advanced scholarly literature, media and sales gives her the edge in dynamic and integrated publishing strategies. She loves being able to combine her creative flair with a down-to-earth approach to deliver a product that is both practical and imaginative.

Since 2005 Theodora has acted as a freelance journalist, copyeditor and reviewer for a variety of publications. Her involvement in a wide array of genres and styles allows her to dive into projects in new and innovative ways, always thinking above and beyond traditional approaches to publishing.
