According to a company press release, Browner will assist with three high-profile AMI projects: the re-launch of Star Magazine from a tabloid to a glossy magazine on April 1; the September debut of MPH (Maximum Performance Horsepower), a lifestyle book targeting men between the ages of 18 and 35; and the articulation of California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's platform on health and fitness (Schwarzenegger is executive editor of AMI's Muscle and Fitness and Flex).
"Michael is a world-class marketing and media expert," said AMI president and chief executive officer David Pecker in the press release. "He has been a friend, advisor and business associate for 15 years. It is a great honor for AMI that he decided to help me execute our vision to become a fully integrated media company."
Browner recently served as chairman of the Audit Bureau of Circulation, and remains a member of the board of directors of Detroit's Adcraft Club and a member of the Association of National Advertisers.
