Glam Media is in the process of either eliminating or reorganizing 14 positions, out of 200, and the company has created a new marketing group.

The new structure will have sales aligned to support digital agencies with another group assigned to support brands. People familiar with the company weren’t surprised to hear of the possible elimination of jobs, saying the sales team was overhired and the network sites weren’t always happy with how much money they were making off the ads.

Glam has a mix of owned and operated Web sites that reach 44 million unique monthly visitors in the U.S. Some sites include Apartment Therapy, Bagsnob and Shake Your Beauty.
