Whether you’re a studio or a freelancer, digital marketing agencies and consultants face unique and often complex risks. A copyright claim, comparative advertising statute, breach of an image licence or an unintentional breach of a written contract are all risks facing people working in digital marketing. Any loss or damage can have a significant impact on your earnings and reputation, and if a client or third party is affected they could take legal action. Contractually you may also be required by your client to have insurance.

A copyright claim, comparative advertising statute or a breach of an image licence. These are unique risks faced by digital marketing companies.
As a digital marketing company, you need professional indemnity insurance which will cover these risks. Not just a general insurance package, but a specialist insurance policy which is designed for your business. At Whinney Insurance Brokers we not only specialise in insurance for digital marketing companies but can also provide advice on how to prevent things from going wrong in the first place.
As a privately owned broker with a small and dedicated multi-disciplined and experienced team of advisors with expertise in the media sector, we pride ourselves on our exceptional service. Whether you’re getting a quote or making a claim, your insurance will always be handled personally by an expert member of our team.
Rather than one-off jobs for clients, you are often engaged in long term relationships. Working on a brand over a sustained period of time. If there is a mishap, the client relationship is king. The cover we provide isn’t just about defending you against claims from clients or third parties. It’s the opposite. Finding ways to resolve a problem without an expensive legal fight. Minimising the impact on your client and hopefully retaining the client relationship going forward.
You might be surprised, but many professional indemnity insurance policies on the market will not cover your key risks. Risks such as breach of licence, unintentional breach of a written contract or cover for your website’s content, are all too often not covered. Insurance wordings are complicated. We can help you understand the small print. Point out to you if insurance is missing things we would expect covered. And rectify gaps in the cover should you require.
