He continued working in various positions at different departments at the firm for the next six years, when in 1997, he formed Alliance as a subsidiary of the Grey Group and under the mentorship of Ed Meyer, Moses became the President of Grey Advertising. In 1998, he developed a collaboration between J. Crew and Dawson's Creek, where Dawson's teens teens would wear the clothes on-air, and the J. Crew would devote an entire catalog to the show, featuring the actors. The idea gained Moses media attention and appreciation at his company. He further brokered deals including pairing Old Spice with the Will Ferrell comedy Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, and integrating Crest toothpaste into The Apprentice while also appearing in the broadcast.

In 2004, Moses produced On The Road: A True Rock-n-Roll Road Story, a television show in which college-age people competed for a gig at Sugar Ray's record label, which aired on SpikeTV. Moses continued working as the president and CEO of Alliance until 2007, when Grey Group was acquired by WPP Group.
