About Global Nomad Media Group LLC To know where you are going you must always look at your past. Global Nomad Media Group LLC, created by Georges Onivogui, has high hopes, boundless goals, and infinite dreams. Georges Onivogui, born in Cuba, has lived all over the globe in his twenty-nine years and speaks five languages fluently. His favorite pastime is spending time raising his son. The most recent venture he has embarked on is to create a media group that is not only valued and reputable, but to take the company and do something more than himself with it.

He created Clutch Auto Mag in the begging of 2011 to showcase the affluent lifestyle and automotive world that is so abundant in the Carolinas. This magazine is truly unique hybrid and creates a cohesive and coherent representation of Carolina living. The publication will remain regional, but will be expanding into separate cities both nationwide and global. Clutch Auto Mag is just the start of the things Georges hopes to produce within Global Nomad Media Group.

One of the goals of this conglomeration is to expand into other publications, networks, and communities. In addition to this expansion, the company is making an effort to reach out to the masses about the importance of sustainability across the globe. The staff is dedicated to making an impact on reaching out, supporting charities, and lowering their carbon footprint. Each issue of Clutch Auto Mag contains a segment on Going Green, which focuses on businesses throughout the Carolinas making an effort to go green. This segment will be continued in other cities as the magazine grows. Georges and his team are making a conscious effort to create a more sustainable world.

Even with this focus in the publications, Georges wants to elaborate these plans and pay homage to his family’s home in Guinea. This country in West Africa is abundant in natural resources, and 80% of the work force is employed by the agricultural market. One of the largest problems facing their economy is the lack of employment for their youth. His plans are to one day return home and develop the resources in this country in an environmentally sustainable way, and bring a more stable economy to the population.

We offer a unique look into affluent living with a full spectrum of coverage. The publication has six printed issues per year.
