- A social media campaign suggested by your agency results in negative publicity for your client that causes harm to their reputation and a drop in their sales.
- One of your client’s competitors claims that advertising materials created by your firm contain copy or graphics similar to theirs and makes a claim of copyright infringement against your agency.
- A client is unhappy with the results of your services, claims that they haven’t received any uplift in their sales or website traffic, and sues your agency for false advertising or breach of contract.
Remember that a lawsuit, whether it has merit or not, can cause significant damage to your firm’s finances and reputation. Ensuring your advertising agency against those claims is integral to your long-term success.
The most important coverage in any ad agency’s insurance portfolio is Media Liability Insurance. Media liability insurance is a policy specifically designed to address the legal risks faced by both traditional and digital advertisers and marketers.
Media Liability insurance is typically bundled with a Commercial General Liability Insurance policy. CGL policies can protect your advertising agency’s day-to-day operations from lawsuits alleging personal injury (e.g. a slip-and-fall injury) and property damage (e.g. a fire started in your office).
If your advertising agency is served with a claim, our policies can provide you with coverage for:
- Lawyer’s fees
- Defense costs
- Out-of-court settlements
- Awards for damages
Acts covered by our Media Liability/CGL policies include:
- Libel/slander/defamation
- Copyright/trademark infringement (coverage also includes defense of your own intellectual property)
- Breach of confidentiality
- Errors and omissions, negligence
- Breach of contract
