How we vet every listicle
Every agency featured on Web Tonic passes our 84-point editorial review before a single listicle goes live. This is how we vet each pick:
Verified client outcomes: We require real case studies with measurable KPIs — revenue, ROAS, CPA, retention — tied to the exact category being ranked. No cherry-picked wins, no unverifiable numbers.
Independent reputation: We cross-check Clutch, Google, G2, and Trustpilot ratings, and screen for review-bombing or suspicious patterns. Only operators with a consistent, verifiable track record make the cut.
Beyond that, every listing goes through a quarterly re-audit. We check 84 criteria across 6 pillars to make sure it still holds up — here are some of the checks we run:
A video production company in Dublin covers concept and script, crew and casting, filming on location or in studio, then edit, colour, sound and the short vertical cuts campaigns run on. Dublin's market splits unusually clearly between shooting companies, dedicated post-production houses and animation studios, and several firms only do one of the three.
We reviewed 19 external companies on evidenced client work, a verifiable Irish address and published pricing. All nineteen are Dublin-based, with three working from Baldoyle, Howth and Dún Laoghaire rather than the city centre; ten name a client publicly and none publish a rate card.
Which Dublin video production company should a brand shortlist?
Separate shooters from finishers. Butter, Maxtron, Rubberduck and Spicy Dog Media shoot commercials, EGG, Yard and Gorilla Post are post houses, Glue and Boulder Media are animation studios, and none of the nineteen publish a price.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does video production cost in Dublin?
None of the nineteen companies here publish a rate card, so use published market figures as the anchor. The average professional three-minute promotional video in Ireland was put at 12,500 euro in 2026, and a high-end Dublin corporate production with scripting, drone work and a lighting crew is quoted at 7,500 to 15,000 euro or more per project. Ask what the quote covers in shoot days, crew and finished cuts before comparing.
Which Dublin companies name their clients?
Ten of the nineteen do. Maxtron Media names Smyths Toys and Disney EMEA, Rubberduck names the National Dairy Council, Bus Éireann and Texaco, Spicy Dog Media names Mitsubishi Electric Ireland, Tinpot Productions is named in a recruitment listing alongside Budweiser, Ryanair and Dunnes Stores, Glue names LEGO, AstraZeneca and Danone, and Boulder Media produces animation for Hasbro. The other nine publish work without naming the brand.
Do I need a production company or a post house?
They are separate businesses here. Butter, Maxtron Media, Rubberduck, Spicy Dog Media, Jump Films, VideoWorks and 5 Films shoot. EGG Post Production, Yard and Gorilla Post Production finish other people's footage with edit, colour, sound and visual effects. Glue and Boulder Media are animation studios. If you have footage already, a post house is cheaper; if you need the whole film, hire a production company that subcontracts finishing.
How healthy is the Irish production sector?
It is at a record. Irish film, television and animation production spend hit 544 million euro in 2025, and the audiovisual sector supported 15,899 full-time equivalent jobs between 2021 and 2023. That base is why Dublin has genuine animation and visual effects depth, with studios such as Boulder Media producing internationally distributed series. Commercial clients benefit from the same crew, colourists and sound designers between larger productions.
Is video advertising growing in Ireland?
Sharply. Irish digital video ad spend grew 14 percent year on year in 2025 and now accounts for 39 percent of total digital advertising, with YouTube ad spend in Ireland forecast at 97.9 million euro for 2026. With 91 percent of businesses worldwide using video as a marketing tool, the competitive question is no longer whether to make video but how many usable cuts each shoot day produces and what media sits behind them.
Choosing a Dublin Video Production Company
Know which of the three markets you are buying. Shooting companies, post houses and animation studios all appear on this page and they are not interchangeable. Shortlist within the right group before comparing showreels.
Push on named work. Ten of the nineteen name a client publicly and the rest show work without attribution. Ask the unnamed nine for two contactable references at companies of comparable size and sector.
Expect quotes, not price lists. None publish figures, so the market benchmarks of roughly 12,500 euro for a three-minute promotional film and 7,500 to 15,000 euro for a high-end corporate production are your reference points, not a guarantee.
Budget the distribution. A film with no media behind it will not reach an audience. If you want the concept, the production and the paid social testing owned by one team, see our performance creative work, read our latest analysis or get in touch.
