Media & Entertainment

Media and entertainment businesses operate on tight timelines, shifting locations, and high expectations — where disruptions can quickly become costly. Swingle Collins partners with production companies, agencies, and creative businesses that need insurance solutions as dynamic as their work.

From production liability and equipment coverage to workers’ compensation, auto, and media-specific errors & omissions, we build flexible programs that adapt to changing schedules, talent requirements, and distribution demands. We understand how rights clearance, intellectual property exposure, contractual indemnities, and location agreements shape risk — and we help clients structure coverage that responds when plans change.

Our concierge approach matters in this industry. Production schedules don’t pause for insurance questions. Clients rely on us for fast certificate issuance, responsive service, and real advocacy when claims arise. With a dedicated Advisor overseeing the entire program, nothing gets lost in translation — whether coverage is needed for a single shoot or an ongoing slate of projects.

The result is confidence — knowing your insurance supports creativity, protects your reputation, and keeps production moving forward.
