CARLSBAD, Calif., Dec. 13, 2016 \u2013 TEN: The Enthusiast Network is pleased to announce the hiring of Micah Abrams as the Group Content Director for the company\u2019s Sports and Entertainment division. In this newly created role, Abrams will oversee editorial across all platforms for TEN\u2019s award-winning portfolio of action and adventure sports brands including SURFER, TRANSWORLD SKATEBOARDING, POWDER and GRINDTV.<\/p>\n

\u201cMicah is an important senior addition to our team as we continue to evolve and expand our content offerings across multiple channels of distribution,\u201d said Norb Garrett, Executive Vice President and General Manager of TEN\u2019s Sports and Entertainment Group. \u201cHis experience in the digital space coupled with his deep knowledge of the action\/outdoor world enables him to have an immediate impact on how we maximize our content strategies and grow our audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abrams joins TEN from the parenting site Fatherly where he was the founding Editorial Director.

\u201cThe pace of change in digital media can give you whiplash, but one thing was true before the internet was invented and it\u2019s true now: brand matters,\u201d says Abrams. \u201cTEN\u2019s action and adventure sports brands are category leaders for a reason \u2014 they\u2019re the most authoritative, inspirational, and innovative voices in an increasingly crowded landscape.
