In 2009, I decided that there was a need for someone to EXPOSE Chicago Fashion Goodness to the consumer that wants to be on the cutting edge and the forefront of style and coolness. 22 million readers/viewers worldwide and a year later it seems that we have far exceeded our original expectations. With a projected growth of over 100 million readers/viewers within the next 5 years, Hush is a HUSH no more! Not only has Hush Chicago Magazine become synonymous with all things new and cool within our Chicago, we have also established ourselves as a socially responsible publication that REVEALS real people in a very real way. President Obama, Oprah Winfrey and Michael Jordan aren’t the only talent Chicago has to offer the world! Hush Chicago Magazine takes pride in discovering fresh face models and new fashion photographers who play a vital role in Chicago’s fast growing Creative/Fashion Community! Hush Chicago Magazine is fashionable enough for a woman and straight-forward enough for a man, making it Chicago’s only genderless fashion and social publication. With our circulation and distribution avenues growing at a rapid rate, we are excited to have created an outlet that will get your brand, product or service in front of the right consumer! We want to provide advertising that will assist in getting your business to the next level. At the end of the day, Hush Chicago Magazine delivers! We are looking forward to forming a great relationship and showing you how Hush Chicago Magazine can work for you! On behalf of everyone here at Hush Chicago Magazine, we’d like to welcome you to the pages where your Hush will be EXPOSED! Sincerely, Ogi Merzier, Founder/Editor N Chief Hush Chicago Magazine
