You move fast. Your content spans borders. But one misclassified freelancer or unchecked vendor could cost you €150,000+ – and your reputation. CXC helps leading media, broadcasting, event and entertainment brands manage global talent seamlessly – with full compliance, zero friction, and total control.
Broadcast globally. Hire locally. Stay compliant.
(Confidential. No pressure. No strings attached.)
You’re juggling short-term productions, event cycles, and multi-market content projects. Behind the scenes:
One audit. One delay. One missed check. That’s all it takes to derail a €5M shoot or regional launch.
Client: IMG, a global leader in sports, events, and media
Challenge: IMG needed a workforce partner who could handle complex contractor engagements across countries — with speed, scale, and legal rigour.
Solution: CXC delivered a scalable MSP model with full compliance management, visibility into global contractor spend, and local legislative expertise.
Result: Seamless delivery, better cost control, and zero compliance disruption.
You focus on the show. We handle the legal backstage.
CXC supports major broadcasters, platforms and event companies with agile, audit-ready workforce solutions in 100+ countries.
We handle:
No legal entities. No compliance gaps. No time wasted.
(Fast. No pressure. No strings attached.)
To DIY global compliance, you’ll need:
A legal team in every country
Local tax advisors and classification experts
Secure payroll systems across jurisdictions
Insurances for misclassification and co-employment risks
That’s millions in overhead – and it still won’t guarantee you’re covered.
Why risk your brand and your broadcast?
We manage the entire lifecycle for your external workforce – so your internal teams stay lean, compliant, and focused.
Contractors onboarded fast, vetted, and classified
All documentation managed and audit-ready
In-region support across the world
Clean, centralised reporting and spend visibility
Zero operational disruption for HR, Procurement, Finance or Legal
Proactive compliance monitoring – no surprises.

Here’s what can happen after our call:
You leave with a tailored plan – yours to run with, no strings attached. We’re glad we helped and we’ll stay friends.
You want to keep the conversation going. Great – we can explore fit.
You feel we wasted your time. Fair play – we’ll send something small (coffee, book, quiet peace offering) to say thanks for your time.
There is nothing for you to lose: We take on the effort, the prep, and the follow-up. We wouldn’t offer this if we weren’t confident we could help.

Avoid fines. Avoid headlines. Avoid disruption.
(Reacting too late isn’t a strategy.)
Disclaimers:
*Estimated costs associated with contractor misclassification are based on typical liabilities observed in high-compliance jurisdictions, including retroactive social security contributions, back taxes, employee benefits, penalties, and legal fees. The €150,000+ figure is often used as a conservative average for a mid-to-senior level contractor in high-compliance regions like UK, Germany, France, or Spain, especially in industries where rates and contributions are higher.
For example, in countries like Germany, employers may be liable for up to 4 years of back payments — or up to 30 years in cases of intentional misclassification (Source: CXC Global Hiring Guide). Actual financial exposure can vary significantly depending on jurisdiction, contractor terms, duration of engagement, and local regulations. Always seek professional advice for specific compliance assessments.
**Timelines may vary depending on solution scope, regional requirements, and implementation complexity.
