Comcast announced today that it’s signed a deal to acquire Daily Candy for $125 million. Daily Candy is a website and email newsletter with several different daily and weekly editions that are divided up by interest and location, with versions of the site in major metropolitan areas such as Chicago, Boston, Dallas and New York.
Comcast Interactive Executive Vice President Sam Schwartz said New York-based Daily Candy, which was founded in 2000 and has 55 employees, serves “an extremely loyal base of fashion and lifestyle-conscious women. The company pioneered the ad-supported e-mail model and has built an industry-leading sales team.”
