About Artemis

Launched in 1999, Artemis is the longest running website devoted to the alternative risk transfer, catastrophe bond and insurance linked security and weather risk management markets. Artemis also covers longevity risk transfer, weather index microinsurance and any other alternative risk financing and transfer methodologies we think our readers will be interested in. Artemis is independently owned by Steve Evans, an e-business expert with years of experience dedicated to the reinsurance and capital markets and a passion for the more exotic areas of risk transfer, who helped launch the website in 1999.

After 11 years of service to it’s community Artemis still strives to fulfill it’s original mission statement:

ARTEMIS is the online heart of the Alternative Risk Transfer and Weather Trading market. For too long this market has been mysterious, jargon filled and opaque; Artemis allows those with even a limited understanding of ART to learn, gain confidence and then directly contact the best people to help them. Artemis is moving ART out of its ivory towers and into the commercial mainstream.

Artemis is visited by thousands of professionals with an interest in ART, catastrophe bonds, weather risk management, risk modelling and longevity risks. This makes it a great place to advertise your services to this market.

Artemis will evolve to support the demands of the ART community. We have the technology to undertake almost all forms of online communication, secure information provision and even trading. As the online ART community develops we can deploy these facilities as the market demands.

At this stage, Artemis is building upon the need for liquidity and transparency of information. You will find up to the minute news on these markets, many directories of information, companies and people. Please ensure that your listings are complete, up-to-date and accurate by contacting us with any additions and changes.

Artemis is used very widely because it is free to users everywhere. This is possible because of the support of advertisers and sponsors who recognise how Artemis will help the market grow and how their emphasised profile will help them to obtain an enlarged proportion of it. We thank our existing advertisers for their support. If you would like to raise your profile in Artemis or have a special feature contact us to discuss your advertising needs.

Artemis’ audience includes market participants (reinsurers, bankers, brokers, risk modellers, investors) and corporations looking to expand their knowledge of these alternative risk markets and seeking connections and recommendations to help them access risk transfer. So whether you are looking for a partner or counterparty to put a deal together or trying to raise your profile in front of potential customers, Artemis is a great place to advertise your expertise in these markets.

In 2010 Artemis was visited by over 40,000 people who between them made over 250,000 page views (in December over 6,000 people visited the site). For those who don’t understand those statistics, that means if you sponsored Artemis your banner could have been seen over 250,000 times by 40,000 highly relevant and targeted people! Sponsorship opportunities and advertising opportunities are available. Please contact us to discuss the options available.

Best wishes and enjoy Artemis!

About Steve Evans (owner of Artemis)

I’ve been working with websites, ecommerce and online marketing for 15 years. I started off in the mid-1990′s working for Worldwide Intellectual Resources Exchange, a start-up providing website services and running portals for the global reinsurance industry. During my time at WIRE Ltd I helped create the Risk Information & Services Exchange (formerly www.rsx.co.uk, some of you may remember it), worked on the first version of Aonline, created, launched, updated and managed Artemis and built websites for clients such as Lloyd’s of London, Kiln, SVB Syndicates and many other London market and international insurance and reinsurance companies.

After WIRE I moved on and worked at Willis Group, one of the largest insurance and reinsurance brokers in the world. Leading their ebusiness development department and delivering both customer facing and internal websites and services and continuing to write for and manage Artemis.

Then, in 2001, I moved to work in the online travel industry. Initially at Virgin Holidays (a large UK based travel tour operator) where as Ecommerce Operations Manager I managed the delivery of all website functionality and much of their online marketing capabilities. In my time there we increased the conversion rate of the website by 90%, a huge increase in sales.

Most recently, for the last two years I have been heading up User Interface for Lastminute.com, a large online travel agent, part of the Travelocity group with operations around the globe. My team spanned the globe with staff working for me in several countries in Europe and Asia and involved working closely with teams based in the U.S. and South America.

I now work as a digital, web and ecommerce consultant and am sole owner, editor and manager of Artemis. I am currently consulting to a major fashion brand, a large UK retailer, two Swiss financial services companies and two online travel startups. Services I offer range from expert reviews of websites and ecommerce processes, creation of strategies, social media consulting, search engine optimisation and much more. Do get in touch if you’d like some help with any website, digital or online marketing projects. I have a deep understanding of what it takes to make successful web experiences which combined with my time in the reinsurance industry could make me the ideal person to help you develop a web strategy that works for you.
