Glam Media, Inc. is a privately held vertical media company with more than lifestyle websites and blogs that provide an advertising platform for fashion-oriented brands. Glam Media is best known for Glam.com, a style website targeted at women. The company also operates the male counterpart Brash.com and Tinker.com, a micro-blogging service started in March 2009, offering embedded widgets to follow Twitter events, news stories and topics.
In February 2010 Glam Media reached #9 in the Top 100 Web properties with 78 million visitors in the United States on the comScore rank list and 164 million unique visitors worldwide. Recently, Glam Style launched in the #1 position as a media title in the Style category with 6.2M. Glam is also the #1 comScore Community property targeting Women, the #8 publisher in online display media, and a Top 10 Adweek Display Ad Publisher.
In March 2010, Glam Media was ranked #1 Most Innovative Media Company by Fast Company (and #37 overall) in the magazine's annual Most Innovative Companies issue.
It is controversial amongst industry observers whether Glam should be seen as a Web destination (as it is listed in comScore) or as an ad network.
