Specialist Marketing and PR insurance arranged for agencies and consultancies of all sizes
In the fast-paced world of marketing and public relations, your reputation is everything. Whether you’re a boutique creative agency, established PR consultancy, or growing digital marketing firm, the advice you provide and campaigns you create can have far-reaching consequences for your clients’ businesses.
Our specialist team understands the unique challenges facing marketing and PR professionals. We arrange insurance solutions through our carefully selected panel of insurers, providing protection that adapts to your specific services and client base. Whether you specialise in crisis communications, influencer marketing, brand strategy, or integrated campaigns, we can arrange cover that reflects the realities of your profession.
The insurance we arrange recognises that marketing and PR work often involves tight deadlines, creative interpretation, and measurable business outcomes for clients. When campaigns don’t deliver expected results, or when creative execution faces unexpected challenges, professional relationships can quickly become legal disputes. Our arranged policies can help provide the financial protection and the support you need to navigate these situations while maintaining your professional reputation.
What does ?
Marketing and PR Insurance cover
The insurance solutions we arrange for marketing and PR professionals can be tailored to help protect your professional activities and business operations.
Professional Indemnity Insurance
Professional Indemnity Insurance may provide cover for claims alleging that a client has suffered a financial loss as a result of your professional services, including areas such as strategic advice, creative development, media planning and campaign management. over may also extend to certain intellectual property-related claims and disputes, which can arise in creative industries where the ownership, use and originality of content may be challenged.
Employers’ Liability Insurance (EL insurance)
or most UK employers, Employers’ Liability Insurance is a legal requirement. It can help cover compensation and legal costs arising from claims made by employees who suffer a work-related injury or illness.
For creative agencies, this may include claims relating to workplace accidents, manual handling activities, repetitive tasks or other occupational injuries and illnesses arising in the course of employment.
Cyber Insurance
Cyber Insurance may be relevant for marketing and PR agencies that handle client information, customer data and digital assets. Cover may be available for certain costs arising from cyber incidents, including data breaches, cyber attacks and privacy-related events.
Agencies that manage social media accounts, process consumer data or handle confidential client information may wish to consider this type of cover. Subject to the policy terms, conditions and exclusions, policies may also include cover for incident response costs, legal expenses, regulatory matters and business interruption losses arising from a covered cyber event.
Directors and Officers Liability
Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance can help protect directors and senior managers against certain claims arising from the management of a business. Cover may include legal defence costs and liabilities associated with covered claims.
This type of insurance may be particularly relevant for marketing and PR agencies with employees, external investors, significant commercial relationships or wider management responsibilities.
Public Liability Insurance
Public Liability Insurance helps protect against claims from third parties who suffer injury or property damage in connection with your business activities. This might include incidents at client premises during presentations, accidents at events you’re managing, or situations where your promotional activities inadvertently cause harm to members of the public.
Why do Marketing and PR Professionals need specialist insurance?
The marketing and PR industry faces unique professional risks that can have severe financial consequences. Campaign failures can result in substantial client losses, particularly when working with large brands where even small errors can translate into millions in lost revenue or damaged reputation.
Creative work inherently involves subjective judgement and interpretation, making it challenging to define clear success metrics. When clients’ expectations don’t align with campaign outcomes, professional disputes often follow. A social media campaign that generates negative publicity, a PR strategy that fails during a crisis, or marketing materials that inadvertently infringe copyrights can all lead to substantial claims against your agency.
The digital nature of modern marketing and PR work creates additional exposure to cyber risks. Agencies routinely handle confidential client information, consumer databases, and sensitive strategic communications. A single data breach or cyber attack could expose thousands of consumers’ personal information, leading to regulatory fines, litigation costs, and significant reputation damage.

Marketing and PR Insurance FAQs
The appropriate level of cover depends on your client base, project values, and potential exposure. Agencies working with large corporate clients typically require higher limits than those serving small local businesses. We assess your specific circumstances to recommend appropriate cover levels that balance protection needs with premium considerations.
The policies we arrange can include cover for work performed by freelancers and contractors working under your direction, provided they’re properly engaged and supervised. This is particularly important for agencies that regularly use specialist contractors for technical services, creative work, or campaign implementation.
If a client alleges that professional negligence contributed to financial loss arising from a campaign, Professional Indemnity Insurance may help with the costs of defending a claim and any associated liabilities covered by the policy.
Additional cover may also be available for certain costs arising from managing the consequences of a covered incident. The scope of cover will depend on the nature of the incident and the insurance policy in place.
The geographical scope of cover varies between policies. For agencies with international clients or campaigns, we can arrange cover with appropriate territorial limits and ensure compliance with different jurisdictions’ legal requirements.
