How Much Does Insurance for Marketing Consultants Cost?

Starting at just $21 a month, we offer one of the most competitive rates in the industry — because insurance is a need, not just a luxury. Your insurance cost depends on the specifics of your practice — the types of coverage needed, the size of your business, claims history, and coverage limits.

For top-notch, continuous protection, purchase an annual policy and save up to 14% on your premium costs.

Recommended Insurance Coverage for Marketing Consultants

You give advice all day – here’s ours. Here are the types of coverage your policy should have:

Included

Professional Liability Coverage

Also known as errors and omissions (E&O) coverage or professional indemnity insurance, professional liability for marketing consultants covers legal expenses related to work performance. It’s designed to cover claims that arise from things like a poorly timed campaign launch, a breach of contract, or a missed branding detail.

This is crucial insurance for marketing consultants who offer expert guidance and creative strategies. It protects your business financially against unintended professional mistakes, negligence claims, and service delivery failures.

We protect you when

  • A misguided market analysis leads to misuse of a client’s advertising budget, resulting in a failed campaign and financial loss
  • An error in timing causes a promotional campaign to launch prematurely, leading to a gap in client revenue
  • A branding misstep inadvertently damages a client’s reputation, requiring costly public relations (PR) efforts

 

Best for

  • Addressing campaign strategies that result in financial loss
  • Mitigating errors in market analysis that reflect poorly on the brand
  • Failure to deliver on time or desired results

General Liability Coverage

General liability coverage is designed to cover common marketing consulting claims, such as third-party property damage and bodily injury. It can also cover legal expenses for claims like these and may be required for signing a commercial lease.

Marketing consultants don’t typically work in high-risk environments, but that doesn’t mean you’re immune to accidents. Imagine a scenario where, during a high-stakes presentation, a client trips and falls over the cables connecting your laptop to a projector, resulting in injuries.

Or, consider a bustling marketing expo where your team inadvertently damages a neighboring display booth while setting up your showcase. Either situation could lead to costly claims that have to come out of your pocket without an insurance policy.

We protect you when

  • A client trips walking into your office, resulting in injuries that require medical attention
  • While doing a promotional shoot, you accidentally spill a beverage on your client’s high-end camera
  • You run a self-promotional ad and accidentally infringe on a competitor’s trademark

 

Best for

  • Medical expenses
  • Damaged client property
  • Libel and advertising injuries

Additional Insureds

Additional insured coverage extends the protection of your marketing consultants policy to qualified third parties. These are individuals or organizations that might be held liable for claims tied to your consulting business activities, such as a landlord or event organizer.

Without this coverage, they could experience financial losses because of your work. This can jeopardize professional relationships and result in expensive disputes.

We protect you when

  • A company hires you to develop a marketing campaign for one of their clients and requires you to add them as an additional insured in case your work leads to a lawsuit
  • A restaurant chain hires you for social media management and wants additional insured status in case a competitor sues over misleading advertising
  • You subcontract under a marketing agency to create digital ads for a client, who requests additional insured status to protect themselves from liability
  • A client falls in your rented office space, sustains injuries, and sues both you and your property manager for damages
  • Someone attending your workshop at a conference trips over your equipment, breaks a wrist, and sues both you and the venue to recover their costs

 

Best for

  • Office space renters
  • Off-site conventions and workshops
  • Personal office visits

Add-Ons

Cyber Liability Coverage

Cyber liability insurance helps marketing consultants survive data breaches and cyberattacks. It can help pay for recovery expenses, legal fees, client notification costs, and more.

Your clients rely on you to have a deep knowledge of their brands. This leaves your consulting firm tasked with housing and protecting sensitive information in a digital landscape where no business is immune from cyber attacks, ransomware, and more.

We protect you when

  • A ransomware attack encrypts your client records, demanding payment for access
  • A hacker breaches your firm’s database and exposes sensitive client information
  • Malware corrupts your server, corrupting financial data and key files

 

Best for

  • Data breaches involving client financial and personal information
  • Cyberattacks disrupting daily operations
  • Ransomware incidents affecting data and systems
  • Theft of sensitive client data

Fidelity Bonds

Fidelity bonds compensate your client if one of your employees steals from them.

If an employee engages in dishonest or criminal acts against a client — such as theft, embezzlement, or forgery — your company could face liability, leading to considerable financial losses. Clients might even require your business to have this coverage before hiring you.

We protect you when

  • You authorize a team member to process a client’s electronic funds transfer, and they divert the money into their own account
  • You send an employee to a client’s office for a photo shoot, and they steal expensive camera equipment

 

Best for

  • Contracts requiring a bond
  • Businesses seeking to establish trust with prospects and clients

Tools and Equipment Coverage

Tools and equipment insurance is all about protecting the essential gear you rely on daily — equipment like your laptop, servers, printers, and the specialized software you use to manage client information and perform financial analyses.

Imagine if your laptop, packed with sensitive client data, got stolen. Not only would replacing it be costly, but the impact on your business could be huge. Securing this coverage means you wouldn’t have to worry about those hefty costs or the potential chaos that could follow.

We protect you when

  • Your work laptop is stolen during a business trip
  • A fire breaks out in your office, damaging essential documents
  • Your printer is dropped while moving offices

 

Best for

  • Protecting important business tools and supplies

Workers Compensation Coverage

Workers compensation for marketing consultants protects your employees in the event of work-related injuries or illness. It ensures that your best workers receive financial support for medical bills and lost wages, which drives more trust in your company.

Marketing consultants work in various environments and handle diverse tasks. Workers compensation is crucial for maintaining a safe work atmosphere and enhancing overall credibility and employee morale.

We protect you when

  • An employee has a slip-and-fall injury while on a company site
  • An employee is injured in a car accident traveling to or from their next appointment
  • An employee develops carpal tunnel syndrome from excessive computer use

 

Best for

  • Consulting firms with employees
