Media and marketing
What you publish and the client work you deliver are the exposures: defamation, IP and professional negligence, with client data behind them.
Lines this class usually carries
6 linesA schedule in this class that does not show one of these raises the finding "usually held in media and marketing, not on this schedule". Absence is a question, not a fault: the cover may sit inside another policy or have been declined on purpose.

Lines it often needs and often lacks
6 linesRaises the finding "often needed in media and marketing and often lacking, not on this schedule". Worth a written answer either way, so a retained exposure is a recorded decision.
