''Complex'' reports on trends in style, pop culture, music, sports and sneakers with a focus on niche cultures such as streetwear, sneaker culture, hip-hop, and graphic art. ''Complex'' currently reaches over 120 million unique users per month across its owned and operated and partner sites, socials and YouTube channels.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://press.dailymotion.com/us/?p=605 )〕 ''Complex'' has won numerous accolades, including several from ''Business Insider'' such as Most Valuable Startups in New York〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.businessinsider.com/most-valuable-new-york-startups-2011-10#22-complex-media-9 )〕 and Most Valuable Private Companies in the World, as well as the Silicon Alley 100 for ''Complex'' CEO Rich Antoniello. In 2012, the company launched Complex TV, an online broadcasting platform that has won numerous awards and has found great success with original shows, such as ''Complex News'', ''First Look music videos'', ''Fashion Bros'' and ''Sneaker Shopping''. ==History== ''Complex'' was established in 2002 by the founder of the Ecko Unltd. brand, Marc Ecko, as a print magazine aimed at providing young males a report of the latest in hip-hop, fashion and pop culture without regard to race.〔 The name ''Complex'' evolved from a slogan developed to promote the Ecko website: "Ecko.complex". The idea was to create a men's magazine that combined Ecko's streetwear and hip-hop attitude along with the style of Japanese men's magazines by providing consumer guides. This was achieved by creating a magazine in two sections: one traditional magazine, and the other a shopping guide. In 2005, ''Complex'' was joined by the former senior editor of ''Vibe'' magazine, Noah Callahan-Bever. He became editor-in-chief and chief content officer a year later; a position he still retains as of February 2014. By 2006, ''Complex'' had begun to turn a profit which allowed the magazine to consider an expansion of their online presence. In April 2007, ''Complex'' soft-launched a media network with four websites: NahRight, Nice Kicks, SlamxHype and MoeJackson. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Complex (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
