Media Insurance Agency Scandinavia

What Media Insurance Agency Scandinavia does

Media Insurance Agency Scandinavia operates within an international network of specialist media insurance intermediaries, with the broader group trading as Media Insurance Brokers Limited (MIB) in the UK. The focal entity is privately held, for-profit, headquartered in Hellerup, Denmark (per firmographics, founded 1996), while the broader MIB network traces its origins to 1990 in the UK as a specialist Film and TV broker. The group functions as an independent insurance broker — not a carrier — placing coverage on behalf of media industry clients with a broad range of FCA-regulated insurers and underwriters.

The product portfolio is organized into five media verticals: Film & TV Productions (covering feature films, TV productions, media liability/E&O, equipment hire, freelancers, prize indemnity, non-appearance, cyber, weather, kidnap & ransom, and US operations), Advertising & Commercial Production (advertising agent's indemnity, commercial producer's indemnity, advertiser wrap programs), Music (public/employee liability, equipment, cyber, event cancellation, US general liability, professional indemnity), Live Events (festivals, concerts, tours), and Specialist Markets (esports). A dedicated freelancer product starts from £225 annual premium. Pricing is quote-based and tailored; revenue is generated through commissions from insurers and underwriters for placed coverage. No proprietary technology platform is disclosed — operations run on standard website, callback forms, and direct broker contact.

Distribution is direct and relationship-led: head office in London (Holborn), a Scotland office in Glasgow, and a wholly-owned Irish subsidiary MIB Insurance Services Ltd in Dublin handle client enquiries via callback requests, telephone, and email. The group is part of the Media Insurance Network (MIN), giving access to global specialist media brokers, and maintains affiliate broker relationships across Europe and the US to support cross-border productions. Customer segments span enterprise production companies, agencies, labels, festivals, freelancers, and emerging esports participants.
