Basic information

The magazine was founded by former[2] editor in chief Jeremy Fall, and premiered on June 1, 2009. Fall founded Cliché at age 18, initially as a side project while he was working as an event producer.[3] According to Fall, the magazine reached 1 million unique views in December 2009. On June 1, 2011, after a year-long hiatus, the magazine was relaunched in a new format that allowed for audio and video embedding.[3][4] Head photographer Dirk Mai produces cover editorials, as well as other exclusive content for the magazine.[5][6]

Richard Corbett became the new proprietor of Cliché[7] in December 2011 and Megan Portorreal took the reins as editor in chief of the magazine[7] In October 2012, Wilson Greene joined the Cliché Team [7] as a Managing Partner and COO. Responsible for managing the day-to-day operations and to provide strategic direction for the company. In May 2012, Cliché added Quavondo Nguyen to their team as Creative Director. With a design and photography background, Quavondo was able to help provide creative insights to help the company re-brand its product. In the Summer of 2013, Cliché Magazine relaunched with a new identity, including a new logo, a new website, and a new magazine look and feel. Quavondo is also the head photographer.

In December 2009, the magazine released its "Print is Dead, Get Over It" campaign.[8] In line with its eco-friendly mission, and in light of the online publication boom, Cliché offers print issues on demand.[6][9] In addition to its website, Cliché is also available as an iPhone and iPod touch application.[10]
