NEW YORK, Feb. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Interactive One is excited to announce the hiring of Marielle Bobo as the new Executive Director of Style and Special Projects.

"I have worked with scores stylists and fashion insiders over the years," says Kierna Mayo, SVP of Content and Brands at Interactive One. "But Marielle is singular. She brings a particular kind of far-sighted, cutting-edge magic to every shoot. When you are on her sets, there is an undeniable artistic flavor that envelops the room.
