Qualified brand profiles
Concise retailer-facing profiles prepared around your categories, customers, price position and markets.
Artemis Retail Circle
A qualified brand pipeline, built around your buying mandate.
Artemis Retail Circle is an invitation-led sourcing and commercial intelligence service for GCC retailers, distributors and retail partners.
It brings selected, commercially reviewed brands to buying teams based on category, customer, price position, market and route to market.
A more useful pipeline
Less noise. Better commercial context.
Retail buying teams receive a constant flow of approaches, but strong products do not always arrive with the commercial preparation needed for GCC discussion.
Artemis works before the introduction: assessing the brand, clarifying gaps and filtering opportunities against the retailer's active requirements.
What members receive
An external sourcing and qualification capability.
Commercial readiness context
A clear view of the brand's route, pricing position, operating capability and evidence confidence before discussion.
Priority review windows
Time-limited first review of relevant opportunities before wider retailer conversations progress.
Curated introductions
Introductions only where there is mutual fit, Artemis review and explicit approval from the brand.
Pipeline and market intelligence
Structured pipeline conversations and practical observations from the brands preparing to enter the GCC.
Opportunity tracking
A controlled record of matches, decisions, next actions and agreed commercial progress.
How it works
Four controlled steps from mandate to conversation.
Set the mandate
Define the markets, categories, customer, price architecture and commercial models you are actively seeking.
Receive qualified matches
Artemis filters brand opportunities against your mandate and prepares the relevant commercial context.
Review within priority
Your team receives a defined first-review period for each suitable opportunity.
Progress by mutual agreement
Where both parties approve, Artemis coordinates an introduction and the next commercial discussion.
Priority, not blanket exclusivity
A defined first look at relevant opportunities.
Retail Circle partners may receive a time-limited priority review window for brands that fit an agreed mandate. Standard partnerships generally use a seven-business-day window; strategic partnerships may use ten to fourteen business days.
This is not permanent control of a category, brand or territory. If there is no decision within the agreed window, the brand may progress with other suitable partners.
Any future distribution, franchise or territorial exclusivity is negotiated separately between the retailer and the brand.
Partnership models
Structured around the depth of sourcing support required.
Partnership fees are proposed privately after Artemis reviews the markets, categories, mandate and required level of support. Partnerships run annually and are billed quarterly.

Private by design
Not a public brand directory.
Artemis does not automatically share full diagnostic reports, private readiness scores, uploaded evidence or identified commercial gaps with retailers.
Only an approved retailer-facing brand profile is shared, and only after the brand has explicitly agreed to visibility.
