Lisa Messenger to close The Collective Hub print edition
Just weeks after revealing she may exit print, The Collective Hub’s founder Lisa Messenger has revealed the most recent magazine edition will be the last.
Messenger first launched her publication as Messenger Collective in 2013, starting out with advertisers including CommBank, Audi, Mercedes and PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Thanks Zoe, Tim and team for always having my back and helping us to lift higher. Really appreciate this. Excited about the future. This is JUST the beginning xxx
All the best Lisa. You should be very proud of your achievements – can’t wait to see what is next…
Wishing you all the best for the future, Lisa. And thank you for being brave and sharing this so openly and honestly with your community. As someone who’s been running an online media company for the last 3 years (although, it has to be said, on a much smaller scale than Collective Hub), I’ve experienced similar struggles first-hand. It’s always refreshing to see a leader who isn’t afraid to be honest and say it as it is.
Dear Lisa
What a journey, what a ride, what an incredible achievement, what an adventure. You have achieved so much is so little time, you have met leaders of all types from around the world. You have made an opportunity of every single second in your day.
I think you deserve a rest before your next challenge appears on the horizon.
All the very best in whatever you decide to do!
Love
Di Wilson
The issue was that the magazine was confusing. They’d have models on the cover and business content inside. It’s a major credit to her to have lasted so long. But then reading she thinks the magazine was the Vanity Fair of business magazines’ which is just delusional. It was an average/good magazine at best.
