Top Video Production Companies in Ireland (Updated August 2026)
The companies in this list are ordered alphabetically by name. That is the only ordering applied, so a company's position implies no ranking, preference or assessment of quality.
Video production is a shoot day and an edit: planning, filming with a crew, then sound, colour and graphics on the way to a finished cut. Irish production is a cottage industry of small crews, with almost every company here running to ten people or fewer and scaling up per shoot with freelancers, so you are buying a director's judgement rather than an agency's process. Starting budgets run from 900 to 3,000 euro, which typically covers one day.
Match the reel to the job you actually have
- Match the reel to your job. Documentary makers and corporate content teams are both on this list. Their reels look nothing alike, and neither does their pricing.
- Starting budget, not day rate. The published floor tells you the smallest job a company will take. It is the most useful number here.
- Footage ownership. Ask who owns the rushes. If you plan to recut for social later, this term decides whether you can, and the social media agencies here will often re-cut a broadcast edit anyway.
- Filmed or animated. Some briefs are better animated than shot, and the animation studios will quote the other version of yours.
- Who directs. On a small team, the person pitching is usually the person shooting. Confirm that, because it is the main advantage of hiring small.
Get the number of revision rounds written into the quote. Unlimited revisions do not exist, and the disagreement always arrives at the point when you most need the video finished.
Who owns the rushes when the edit is signed off
Nearly every name on this list is a small crew of ten people or fewer, so you are not really choosing between processes, you are choosing a director and their reel. Watch full projects, not just showreels, because a thirty-second highlight hides pacing problems and weak sound just as easily as it hides a bad edit.
- Reel fit over reel quality. A documentary maker and a corporate content team can both shoot beautifully and still be wrong for your job. Match the genre in the reel to the genre you need.
- In-house or hired-in crew. Confirm who actually shows up on the day. Some companies keep everything in-house, others assemble freelancers per shoot, which affects consistency across a multi-video series.
- Footage and usage rights. Decide before you sign whether you need the raw rushes or just the finished edit, and whether you will reuse clips across other channels later.
- Revision terms in writing. Get the number of rounds and the turnaround per round written into the quote, not agreed by email later.
Shoot and edit to a brief — and who writes the brief
A video production company shoots and edits to a brief: planning the shoot, filming with a crew, and delivering a finished edit with sound, colour and graphics. Several firms on this list also develop the creative concept before filming, which shades into agency territory. Where they do not, production companies shoot the idea rather than find it, and finding it is what the creative agencies do. Scriptwriting, paid media placement and ongoing social scheduling usually sit outside the core service, even where a firm offers them as an add-on.
Businesses typically bring this work in for a specific event: a product launch, a recruitment drive, a funding round that needs a pitch film, or a rebrand that needs new brand assets. Ongoing social content is a separate, recurring trigger, and only a few firms here are set up to deliver it on a regular schedule rather than as one-off shoots.
Why the published floor is the only useful figure
Companies on this list publish starting project budgets rather than hourly rates, and the floors run from €900 to €3,000. That figure typically buys a single shoot day with a small crew and a basic edit. It is a starting point, not a ceiling.
The price moves with the number of shoot days, the size of the crew, whether actors or presenters are booked, location costs, and how much motion graphics or animation gets added in the edit. A one-day corporate piece sits at the lower end of the published range. A multi-location brand film or a project needing original animation will run well past the highest published floor here, since none of these figures include multi-day production.
We have selected and reviewed these companies based on factors such as their services, industry experience, reputation, client portfolio, pricing where publicly available, market presence, and other relevant business metrics. The information and pricing mentioned are based on details available at the time of publication and may change over time. We recommend verifying the latest information directly with each company.

3. Ireland Website Design.
Best for video as part of a digital package
- Location
- Dublin, Ireland
- Team size
- 11-50
- Min project
- From €900
Ireland Website Design is a Waterford agency working with Irish businesses since 2010, with a team of between eleven and fifty people. Its main business is building websites and online shops, with brand work, search engine optimisation and ongoing marketing alongside, and video produced as part of that wider offering rather than as a standalone service.
Who they suit
The agency suits businesses that want the film and the place it will live handled together, so a promotional video is planned around the page it sits on and the campaign that will carry it. That is a different proposition from hiring a dedicated crew, and it is the better fit when the website matters as much as the footage. Work covers local, national and international clients. Projects start from 900 euro.

6. Manual Mode Productions
Best for video, photography and brand in one shoot
- Location
- Dublin, Ireland
- Team size
- 1-10
Manual Mode Productions is a Dublin agency covering video, photography, graphic design and branding from one small team. Its stated focus is promotional video and photography for the food and hospitality trade, which is demanding work: dishes, rooms and service all have to look right on camera and be shot around opening hours.
Who they suit
The company suits restaurants, cafés, hotels and food brands that need a single shoot to produce several different things at once, a set of photographs for the menu and website, a short film for social media and the design work to go with them. Hiring one team for all of it keeps the look consistent and avoids paying separately for a photographer and a film crew. Starting budgets are not published.

7. Mashup Media
Best for video paired with animation
- Location
- Dublin, Ireland
- Team size
- 1-10
- Min project
- From €3,000
Mashup Media is a creative content agency based in Dún Laoghaire, County Dublin, working since 2010.

Work is delivered from first concept to final cut and cut down for social media, broadcast and websites.
Who they suit
The agency suits organisations that need explanation as much as atmosphere, where an animated sequence carries a point that live footage cannot. It has a named specialism in sustainability and energy communications, and its published client list includes Bord Bia, the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland, IWEA, Gas Networks Ireland and the National Treasury Management Agency. Clients range from start-ups and smaller Irish firms to multinationals. Projects start from 3,000 euro.

8. Maxmedia Ireland Limited
Best for ongoing creative content
- Location
- Dublin, Ireland
- Team size
- 11-50
- Min project
- From €900
Maxmedia is a content agency based in Dalkey, County Dublin, opened in 2010 by Lisa Gaughran, whose editorial background runs through IPC Media in London and Smurfit Communications in Dublin. With separate editorial, design and video teams it is one of the larger firms on this list, between eleven and fifty people, and it plans and commissions content as well as producing it.
Who they suit
The agency suits organisations that publish continuously, through magazines, social channels and campaign films, rather than commissioning a single video. Its published client list names Tourism Ireland, Fáilte Ireland, Irish Ferries, Zurich and Cisco. Because the same team writes, designs, films and animates, a campaign can run across print and screen without being handed between suppliers. Projects start from 900 euro.

9. VM Digital

- Location
- Dublin, Ireland
- Team size
- 1-10
- Min project
- From €900
VM Digital is a Dublin visual marketing team producing video and photography for brands, recruiters and property professionals.

Drone filming, editing, on-screen graphics and photography are all handled by the same team.
Who they suit
The company suits estate agents, developers and employers who need a finished piece quickly and to a known budget, and it publishes property launch turnarounds as short as 48 hours. It holds 16 reviews on the Clutch directory. Files are supplied ready to post in the sizes each channel needs, which matters when the same shoot has to serve a brochure, a listing and a social post. Projects start from 900 euro.

10. Way Out West Productions
Best for branding and video together
- Location
- Dublin, Ireland
- Team size
- 1-10
Way Out West is a branding and video production agency in Dublin city, started in 2020 by David McGowan, who had worked as a freelance filmmaker since 2016 on promotional films and music videos. The team is small and handles the look of a brand as well as the footage, so naming, identity work and advertising can be commissioned in the same place as the shoot.
Who they suit
The agency suits food and drinks brands and other consumer businesses that need advertising material and the identity to hang it on, rather than a single film in isolation. It also runs paid advertising campaigns, which means the same team that makes the video can place it in front of an audience. Starting budgets are not published, so scope and pricing need to be agreed against a brief.

A well made video gets a brand's story across in a way text alone can't, and it travels further on social than most other formats. What it doesn't do is bring the viewer back once the video has been watched. Telling a story and earning a repeat customer are different crafts. Brandfire designs and builds loyalty and rewards programmes for brands across Ireland, the kind of work that keeps a customer engaged long after the video stops playing.
Frequently asked questions
- How much does video production cost in Ireland?
- Published starting budgets on this list run from 1,000 to 3,000 euro. That figure typically covers a single shoot day with a small crew and a basic edit. Multi-day shoots, actors, locations and motion graphics move the number quickly, so treat the starting budget as a floor.
- What is the difference between a production company and a video agency?
- A production company shoots and edits to a brief. An agency develops the idea first, then produces it. If you know exactly what you want filmed, a production company is cheaper. If you need the concept as well, the agency route usually costs less overall than paying twice.
- Who owns the raw footage after a shoot?
- Not automatically you. Many Irish production contracts license the finished edit while the production company retains the rushes. If you expect to recut the material later, or use it across other campaigns, negotiate footage ownership and usage terms before the shoot.
- How long does a video project take?
- For a straightforward corporate piece, expect two to four weeks from brief to final cut, with the shoot itself taking one day. Documentary and brand film run considerably longer. The edit and revision rounds, not the filming, are what usually extend a timeline.
