Basic information[]
The magazine was founded by former[1] 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.[2] 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.[2][3] Head photographer Dirk Mai produces cover editorials, as well as other exclusive content for the magazine.[4][5]
Richard Corbett became the new proprietor of Cliché[6] in December 2011 and Megan Portorreal took the reins as editor in chief of the magazine[6] In October 2012, Wilson Greene joined the Cliché Team [6] 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. He left Cliché in 2018 but returned in 2020 as Editor in Chief.
