Media for Equity Deal: SevenVentures invests double-digit million sum in plus-size retailer navabi
Munich, 4th July 2019 - SevenVentures, TV media investment arm of the ProSiebenSat.1 Group, has made a double-digit million Euro media investment in navabi, the worlds leading online retailer for plus-size fashion. The deal aims to drive growth in a market which has often been neglected by the fashion industry - despite a high demand for larger sizes. With this investment, SevenVentures is seizing the opportunity to invest in a pioneer in this market segment. All previous investors at navabi, including Index and Verdane, remain on board.
In 2018, online retail revenue for clothes and shoes in Germany totalled 16.8 billion Euros. This represents an eight percent increase on 2017. The largest market segment is womens clothing (Statista, 2019). The plus-size market is experiencing prolonged growth and consistent demand.
navabi is using the current investment round to achieve additional reach with its in-house produced commercials in the target group-affine TV environments within the ProSiebenSat.1 Group. The navabi TV spots focus on the attributes of naturalness and authenticity in their brand messages: the stars of the commercials are navabi customers who were selected from 3,000 applicants to tell their personal stories to the camera about how fashion changes their lives every day.
navabi is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. Founders Zahir Dehnadi and Bahman Nedaei have run the plus-size pioneer from Germany since 2009 and they also have offices in Aachen and London. In addition to over 150 labels available in the store such as Marina Rinaldi Sport and Levis, navabi has also established successful own-brand labels that are experiencing rapid growth and already account for one third of sales.
Bahman Nedaei, co-founder of navabi: With this Media for Equity deal we can generate a huge TV presence and massively expand brand awareness. Thanks to the cooperation with SevenVentures and the broadcast of our TV commercials we can reach millions of households in Germany and show curvy women all over the country that there is great fashion for them.
Dr. Jens Pippig, Managing Director of SevenVentures: We are delighted that with this deal we are investing in a growing market. navabi has incredible know-how in the field of plus-size fashions. We are convinced that together we will continue to promote navabis growth in this market segment and establish navabi as a synonym for plus size.
