New to Clutch?

“Clutch is not only fly, it is authentic and uniquely relevant to its community. It is the digital destination for the smart, stylish and a sexy urban female. Clutch gets it and Clutch is sure to get you on the very first click.” Michaela angela Davis

With the rise of the online sector as the primary source of news, Clutch has been an industry leader in forging the movement into the digital age for its target demographic. With a site that has been accumulating a steady increase of viewers each quarter since its inception, Clutch has proven that there is a market for Black women that hasn’t been filled before.

Clutch is the only online magazine for Black women that is updated numerous times daily and releases a full issue every Monday. Weekly interviews with the biggest names in the world (Russell Simmons, Diahann Carroll, Sheila Johnson, Hill Harper, Sanaa Lathan, Nia Long, John Legend, Suze Orman, among others) are mixed with editorials by some of the most eclectic minds of this generation.

Clutch has barely scratched the surface of how potent it can become. Declining newspaper/magazine circulation, increasing digital awareness from consumers and outstanding content are three of the biggest reasons why Clutch will continue to be a force.

Content Delivery: Every Monday

“Clutch is a wonderful online magazine that fills a great void for Black women, particularly younger Black women, in America and globally. It is smart, sexy, provocative, womanist, and the kind of space readers and advertisers will continue to flock to because Clutch is the ultimate kind of 21st century mover and shaker destination.” Kevin Powell
