The real problem

Why Insurtech marketing keeps failing to deliver

01

Incumbent relationships dominate incumbent procurement

Carriers and MGAs often extend existing vendor relationships because switching risk is real. Breaking into those relationships requires marketing that makes the switching cost of NOT moving visibly higher than the risk of moving.

02

Regulatory complexity varies dramatically by market

Insurance marketing differs significantly across US states, between Lloyd's and company markets in the UK, and across APAC jurisdictions. Generic claims that work in one market create compliance exposure in another.

03

Long enterprise sales cycles require sustained credibility

Carrier and MGA technology decisions take 12–24 months from first awareness to signed contract. Most marketing investments look unprofitable at 6 months. The companies that build organic authority early dominate when the procurement process opens.

What we actually do

How Heptism works for Insurtech companies

01

Positioning built around risk reduction, not disruption

Insurance buyers want to manage risk, not take it. We position your technology in terms of risk reduction — underwriting accuracy, operational resilience, compliance confidence — not transformation rhetoric that makes procurement teams nervous.

02

SEO targeting the research phase of carrier procurement

Brokers, MGAs, and carriers research extensively before engaging vendors. We capture them with content targeting: regulatory technology, pricing models, API integration patterns, market analysis — the queries that signal active evaluation.

03

Distribution channel marketing for embedded insurance

Embedded insurance requires marketing to distribution partners — fintech, e-commerce, mobility platforms — who evaluate insurance APIs as infrastructure decisions. We build the technical credibility and partnership positioning to win those channels.

FAQ

Your questions.
Honest answers.

Do not see yours? Drop us a line. A real person replies within one business day.

01Do you understand Lloyd's, MGA, and carrier market structures?

Yes. The UK insurance market — Lloyd's syndicates, managing agents, MGAs, and company market carriers — and the US surplus lines and admitted markets are areas of genuine understanding.

02Can you help us market embedded insurance to fintech and e-commerce partners?

Yes. Partnership marketing for embedded insurance platforms — positioning your API as infrastructure rather than a product — is a specific capability.

03Do you work with early-stage insurtech startups?

Yes. From $1,999/month. Most early-stage insurtech clients prioritise positioning and SEO before paid, building the category authority that makes later investment more efficient.
