Why do media consultants need PI insurance?

As a media consultant, you provide expert advice and services that your clients depend on. If something goes wrong, a mistake, an oversight, or even a misunderstanding, your client could claim you caused them a financial loss. Professional indemnity insurance covers the legal costs of defending yourself and any compensation you might need to pay.

Common risks for media consultants include campaign strategy failures, brand reputation damage. Even careful professionals face claims from misunderstandings or unrealistic client expectations. PI insurance gives you the confidence to do your best work knowing you are protected.

Regulatory requirement: While not legally mandatory, PI insurance is strongly recommended for media consultants.

What cover level do you need?

Most media consultants opt for £500K of cover. The right level depends on the size of your projects, your annual revenue, and any contractual requirements from your clients. Many enterprise clients require at least £1M of PI cover as a condition of working together.
