Glam launched publicly in 2005 with a mission to bring brand advertisers to passionate audiences developing along the Web’s long tail. Earlier the company operated in stealth mode at a retro-modern Victorian home in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco and talked to hundreds of brand advertisers worldwide. Glam.com launched with just 12 network publishers in September 2005 at New York Fashion Week, and became number one for women less than two years later in June 2007. Today, Glam Media is a Top 10 comScore property just three years after launch and is replicating its network model with its newly launched all-men’s vertical, Brash.com.
