Insurance for companies and freelancers in the media sector

A sector with exceptional risks

A job in the media sector carries specific risks.

• The equipment and techniques used are becoming increasingly sophisticated under the influence of digitalisation. Damage to your equipment involves high costs, not only for the repair or replacement. A temporary halt in production is also a heavy financial burden. You should cover yourself for this.
• Media activities involve unforeseeable risks and bring you into contact with many different parties. So good insurance of your liability is also a must.
