MediaCorp, one of Singapore’s two largest media companies, has poured $40 million into Reebonz in a deal that values the designer brand flash-sales site at about $200 million. This is the first time that MediaCorp has invested in an online retailer, according to a story on Channel News Asia (a site that is also owned by MediaCorp).


The media conglomerate hopes that Reebonz will help it tap into the Asia-Pacific region’s booming e-commerce market, which eMarketer says will make $1.3 trillion in 2013, leading the world in B2C online sales.


“We see great alignment between what Reebonz does and what MediaCorp has–audiences, content targeted at the luxury market and our star power. We are confident that by collaborating closely with Reebonz, we’ll see even more breakthroughs from the retailer,” MediaCorp CEO Shaun Seow said.


Reebonz was founded in 2009 and has raised a total of about $79.7 million from investors including Vertex Asia Investments, Granite Global Ventures, Intel Capital, Matrix Partners China and Infocomm Investments.


MediaCorp’s investment in Reebonz is notable because it follows its main rival Singapore Press Holding’s decision to take a $1.4 million, or 27.8% stake, in restaurant booking site Chope. Both companies are much better known for operating newspapers, magazines and other traditional media outlets than investing in startups.

  1. The coloring diameter is only 13.5. If the school party doesn't want to wear glasses, but the teacher does not allow black eye white pupil, this one is simply a killer! The water content of 38% is fully in line with the water content requirements of our Asians. There is a bug. Many babies think that the higher the pink and blue eye contacts, the better for the eyes? ? Wrong! ! ! It is estimated that I bought too many inferior cosmetic contact lenses and was deceived by those sellers. In fact, the higher the water content, the more water-reliant the beauty contact lenses have on water. Instead, they will absorb the water from the eyes. So the 38% water rainbow contacts for salecan be said to be the lowest on the market! This fits the student party’s requirement to learn to wear all day long. Anyway, po live now in the internship (primary school teacher) not only wears the contact lenses from morning to night, but also looks at the bears at noon. However, you can wear this one for a nap for an hour and will not push it for a lifetime! !

  2. Over-the-knee boots have become the focus of autumn and winter since last year. In this season, regardless of T stage or frye winter boots, the shadow of over-the-knee boots can be seen everywhere. Its queen-like aura provides excellent warmth while at the same time. , And cleverly stretch the legs.
    So how to wear and match to make over-the-kneefrye dylan slip on become an artifact to show off beautiful legs, instead of a catastrophic "double barrel"?
    This is the most easy-to-handle match that the girls choose, and the comfort and freedom are also the highest. The loose upper body dress covers the fattest buttocks, and the frye over the knee bootsthat strengthen the legs wrap up any imperfections in the legs. Who would worry about the fat being seen?
