Some furloughed staffers of A360 Media are going back to work \u2014 but not for the publisher of the National Enquirer. <\/p>\n

Pocket Outdoor Media, headed by endurance sports entrepreneur Robin Thurston, has hired Micah Abrams, the recently furloughed editor of Men\u2019s Journal, and Sierra Shafer, Powder\u2019s editor-in-chief. <\/p>\n

A360 Media, formerly known as American Media, kicked off widespread furloughs for its sports and fitness publications in October when it paused printing for titles like Bike, Powder, Snowboarder and Surfer.<\/p>\n

\u201cPocket is picking off a lot of talent from A360,\u201d said Abrams, who also oversaw content strategy for A360\u2019s collection of sporting and fitness properties. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s now vice president of editorial strategy for Pocket\u2019s Ski magazine and its Warren Miller Entertainment studio. Shafer will oversee the relaunch of Ski magazine as editor-in-chief.<\/p>\n

Pocket Outdoor Media previously hired Nicole Formosa, A360\u2019s furloughed editor-in-chief of Bike magazine, and four other staffers for plans to launch a new mountain bike brand to start in early 2021. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe success of our business depends on producing great content,\u201d said Thurston, Pocket\u2019s CEO. \u201cWe hired the former\u00a0Bike\u00a0editorial staff for this reason, and hiring Micah and Sierra furthers our commitment to artful storytelling as our north star.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thurston sold his Mapmyfitness app<\/a> to Under Armour for $130 million back in 2013. His new company landed a Series<\/a> A funding round in July and promptly snapped up 16 titles from Active Interest Media, including Yoga Journal, SKI, Climbing, Backpacker, Warren Miller Entertainment, Oxygen, IDEA Health and Fitness Association, Clean Eating, Vegetarian Times, Better Nutrition, NatuRx, Muscle & Performance, Nastar, Fly Fishing Film Tour, National Park Trip<\/a>s, and SNEWS<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Pocket raised another $5.7 million in venture money and snapped up Big Stone Publishing, which publishes digital titles Rock & Ice, Trail Runner and Gym Climber. Sources said Pocket has raised over $20 million in venture funding. <\/p>\n

Abrams and Shafer start their new gigs on Jan. 4.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
