CHICAGO, IL / CHARLOTTE, NC (MARCH 7, 2025) – Suite929 Global announced the formation of a new holding company, Lifestyle Republic Holdings (publicly known as Lifestyle Republic or LSR), which will take on the full portfolio of owned and operated brands under the Suite929 Global and MADE Lifestyle Collection LLC banners.
“Suite929 Global represented a pivotal moment in my professional history, but it does not accurately reflect the extent of our diversity or indicate where we’re headed,” said Chuck Holliday, Managing Partner of Lifestyle Republic. “This is a rare opportunity to create a global Lifestyle and Media pureplay built for where the industry is headed. In creating Lifestyle Republic, we now have a holding company that represents the very definition of the word itself, constantly striving to push boundaries on behalf of our clients and owned properties.”
The new entity will be led by Holliday as Managing Partner and Thenjiwe Lyons as General Counsel / Co-Managing Partner.
“Our business at its core remains rooted in access, service and creativity,” said Lyons. “The one substantial difference is that unlike 4 years ago, we’re now immersed within an incredible global network. We have the relationships and the platforms to help our clients and partners extend their reach and bring their creative initiatives to life.”
The LSR family includes the following: Suite929tv, a global video network specializing in originally produced lifestyle, travel, and fashion content; MADE Lifestyle Collection, a leading Men’s Fragrance and Fashion Accessories Product Line; ARIA Candle Company, a Chicago-based leading Soy Candle Product Line; The Lifestyle Republic (TLSR), a long running Digital Magazine with a focus on Beauty, Leisure, Fashion, and Travel; Firm Biz (FB360); a leading business focused Digital Magazine geared towards Millennials; and Live on 929, an upstart Podcast Network.
LSR also encompasses a range of strategic joint ventures, among them G Style Magazine and Tech We Like, a Mobile Tech focused Dual Magazine created in conjunction with Versatile Media Group, as well as Savoux Coffee, an Ethiopian-produced Coffee House launched in conjunction with Savoux Brands and the Shewengezaw Family.
