NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Alison Moore has been named Executive Vice President and General Manager of DailyCandy, the original trusted source for taste-making discoveries of fashion, food and fun. Moore joins from Home Box Office, where she was Senior Vice President, Digital Products. Effective November 1, she will report to Nick Lehman, President of Digital for NBCUniversal's Entertainment & Digital Networks and Integrated Media group, of which DailyCandy is a part.

"Alison's blend of start-up expertise and extensive experience running digital at a major media company makes her the ideal leader for DailyCandy," said Lehman. "As the architect behind award-winning multimedia marketing strategies and one of the most successful digital products in the convergent TV marketplace, she has what it takes to build on DailyCandy's incredible success, extending the brand to key new platforms."

Moore will be responsible for taking the business to the next level of success, with a strong focus on launching newly reimagined DailyCandy experiences across the web, mobile, and social, igniting even greater engagement and robust dialogue with its influential user base of over six million women.  She will lead DailyCandy's video initiatives, including multiple original digital video series as well as its multiplatform programming partnership with the Style Network, "StyleCandy."

"In today's cluttered media environment, brands like DailyCandy with such enormous positive equity, point of view, and voice really stand out. This is a major opportunity to build on that trust, and expand the business across all platforms."

Recently recognized on The Hollywood Reporter's 2012 Digital Top 50 List, Moore was responsible for launching key digital products such as the acclaimed HBO GO, HBO's TV Everywhere product.  For the last two years, Moore has overseen HBO's digital consumer experience, content development strategy and operations of HBO's digital products, which also include: HBO.com/Cinemax.com, HBO Social Platforms and HBO/Cinemax On Demand.
