Why do advertising agencies need business insurance?
Media and advertising agencies face several risks – especially liability over what you publish. A client could sue over a mistake, or a competitor could file a lawsuit alleging defamation or copyright infringement. Advertising agency insurance covers these and other liabilities, such as injuries and cyberattacks.

What types of business insurance do advertising agencies need?
These insurance policies cover common advertising agency risks.
General liability insurance
This policy covers accidental property damage and injuries. Bundle it with commercial property insurance in a business owner’s policy (BOP) for a discount.
BEST FOR
- Customer bodily injuries
- Damaged customer property

Media liability insurance
This policy covers legal defense costs related to the quality of your work and advertising injuries. It's also referred to as professional liability insurance or errors and omissions insurance.
BEST FOR
- Accusations of negligence
- Mistakes in an advertising campaign
- Copyright infringement
Business owner's policy
A business owner's policy, or BOP, is a cost-effective way for smaller advertising agencies to purchase general liability coverage and commercial property insurance together.
BEST FOR
- Damaged client property
- Slip-and-fall injuries at your agency
- Stolen or damaged business property
Workers’ compensation insurance
Most states require workers' comp for advertising agencies that have employees. It also protects sole proprietors from work injury costs that health insurance might deny.
BEST FOR
- Employee medical expenses
- Disability benefits
- Employee injury lawsuits
Cyber liability insurance
This policy covers financial losses caused by data breaches and cyberattacks. It's strongly recommended for media and advertising agencies that handle credit cards or other sensitive data.
BEST FOR
- Data breach lawsuits
- Client notification expenses
- Fraud monitoring costs
Commercial auto insurance
Commercial auto insurance helps cover costs if a vehicle owned by an advertising agency is involved in an accident. It's usually required for vehicles owned by a business.
BEST FOR
- Property damage caused by your vehicle
