Coles hires Lisa Hudson as editor of catalogue replacement Coles&co
Coles has hired Qantas Wine’s Lisa Hudson as editor of its new digital content platform.
Coles&co launched last week as Coles announced it would no longer be delivering catalogues to mailboxes, introducing the digital platform as a replacement.
Up until July, Hudson was the head of Qantas Wine, the airline’s food and wine club. She previously spent 18 years with Fairfax Media (now part of Nine) working across the newspapers’ number of lifestyle titles, such as Good Weekend, Sunday Life and the Good Food Guide. She left in 2013 as the general manager of food and wine.
Lisa Hudson joins Coles&co after an extensive career in food and wine publishing
Hmmm. Not sure that I can’t think of anyone else in the country that could be a better appointment at any level. I suspect these Lisa’s will enjoy each others professional contributions immensely.
Congratulations to both of you and to Ronson for taking owned media publishing very seriously.
An inspired choice. Well done to the two Lisas.
An exceptionally talented woman and great appointment. Go Lisa!
Its great that Coles bought this in-house and got away from NewsCorp
An ideal vehicle for one of the sharpest business-minded food and wine editors out.
