Lisa Messenger is Managing Director of Messenger Marketing and Messenger Publishing 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. This success led to her being named a finalist in the both the 2005, 2006 & 2009 Telstra Business Woman of the Year Awards as well as being named finalist for the Champion of Champions Award, and a finalist in the My Business Awards for fastest growing business in both 2007 and 2008. In 2008 she was named Entrepreneur of the Year by think tank movement, Thought Leaders. In 2009 she was named Alumni of the Year by Southern Cross University out of a potential pool of over 40,000.
Since Happiness Is… Lisa has authored and co-authored a further 12 books and Messenger Publishing released 79 books for companies and individuals. Lisa writes extensively for a number of magazines, has been a judge for the Australian Business and Specialist Publishers’ national Bell Awards, sponsors the award for best marketing plan annually for the NSW Writers Centre, has sat on the board of the Australian Businesswomen’s Network and chaired the 2006 International Women’s Day for them in Australia. In 2006 she was also honoured as a national entrepreneur in Daring to Dream, published by the Rural Women’s Network, Women Entrepreneurs, published by the National Department for Women and in Secrets of Entrepreneurs Under Forty Exposed, authored by Dale Beaumont.
She is an active supporter of charities Kids Help Line, Opportunity International, Hands Across the Water, ROAR, tour de Cure, Variety and Day of Inspiration. She has done work with the Dillwynia Womens Prison to inspire inmates.
She is in negotiations to license her publishing model globally and is currently expanding into the US. She is currently co-authoring two books with US best selling authors. 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.
