Our take
Social commerce is already a multi-billion market in Asia. However, it’s only really getting started in the Western world. VIAVIA is aiming to lead this charge by curating quality Made in Italy brands, and recruiting high-following social media content creators to drive sales.
Due to ever changing and tightening privacy laws, it’s becoming more difficult for brands to acquire new customers online and on social media. However, by blending advertising with entertainment via content creators, VIAVIA offers brands a fresh way of making their products discoverable.
With high-profile founders and a solid mission, VIAVIA looks likely to become much more widely known over the next few years. A 2022 seed funding round will allow it to increase its footprint, as the growing popularity of social commerce brings consumers and brands alike to the space.
