For When the Show Just Cannot Go On
Advertising agencies and production companies run on pressured deadlines and tight budgets that require impeccable project management to stay on track. And while planning is typically done right down to the finest detail, the reality is that even with the best risk management measures in place, there’s always potential for something that is entirely unexpected and beyond human control to go wrong on set.
This is where cancellation and abandonment insurance for advertising agencies and production companies is critical. “The insurance policy provides financial protection for advertising agencies and production companies that are forced to cancel, abandon or postpone a film shoot due to events such as bad weather, acts of God and other circumstances that are beyond the control of the team,” explains Promise Ngobeni, a Client Manager in Aon’s Commercial Risk Solutions division.
