BRISBANE, Calif. and NEW YORK, June 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Glam Media
(www.GlamMedia.com), the pioneer of vertical content networks and number one
in reach for women online, today announced that former Sheknows.com President
and CEO Mike Meyers will join as VP & GM of Glam Family. The new family

pregnancy and baby-related.
Glam Family is the most recent channel in the Glam Media vertical content
network, which brings together premium media content and 500+ independent
publishers to give advertisers a unique and diverse platform for brand
engagement with their target audiences. The family vertical enables Glam to
create a laser focus on content that appeals to moms and families, while
providing advertisers a targeted and safe environment to reach this audience.
"I am excited by Glam's presence in the market and by its clear momentum
as number one in reach for women on the Web," said Mike Meyers. "Glam's
decision to develop a vertical dedicated to premium family content is an
opportunity I know brand advertisers are seeking online."
As president, CEO and early partner of Sheknows.com, one comScore's
top-ranked women's and family Web properties, Meyers brings particular
expertise and entrepreneurial spirit help to build and develop Glam's own
family channel. Meyers developed and managed six owned and operated sites
under the Sheknows brand including: Sheknows.com, Pregnancyandbaby.com,
Pointsandprizes.com, Chefmom.com, Pregnancyfashion.com and Geoparent.com.
Sheknows.com was acquired by Atomic Online LLC in 2007. Prior to Sheknows.com,
Meyers held various roles in consumer magazine publishing.
"The launch of Glam's family vertical is all about focusing on topics very
important to our audience: parenting, pregnancy and baby and enabling
marketers to access this highly desirable environment," said Scott Schiller,
executive vice president of women's markets for Glam Media. "We are thrilled
to have Mike Meyers with his track record of building content for women
-- join the Glam Media team."
