Testimonials

What can I say about Videoworks? They were amazing to work with. They have a great attention to detail, they clarify everything and it ensures everyone is on the same page. They filmed for us, they livestreamed for us, they problem solved for us. It was our first digital festival and we couldn't have picked a better team to partner with. Anyone else thinking about running a digital festival, should go straight to them. They will massively reduce any stress you have. They were always extremely responsive and speedy to any emails or calls. Everyone in the team is skilled in their field and it makes them a really strong team overall. Any future occasions where we need help with something like this, I'm picking up the phone and calling them immediately."Edel Doran, Programme Co-Ordinator, First Fortnight

We have been availing of the services of VideoWorks since 2016. In this time, the VideoWorks team have produced a number of high quality videos that we have used on various platforms to effectively communicate the importance of the work we do in engaging with adult learners and sharing their experiences. Many of the videos that we have commissioned have aimed to document our events for adult learners/members in a creative and accessible way and VideoWorks are incredibly skilled in interpreting our briefs and often improving on them. Ciaran and his team are a pleasure to work with and have a very professional approach through all stages of the process – especially in making adult learners feel comfortable in front of the camera. Often we have limited time to turn around projects and this is never a problem for the team. We would highly recommend them and I am happy to answer further questions about this work.Katie O'Rourke, Communications Lead, AONTAS

We have been using the services of Videoworks for the past number of years. They are a pleasure to work with, nothing is ever too much trouble for them - some of the people we have sought to feature in videos have been difficult enough to access and liaise with but the guys in Videoworks have never said never and have persisted again and again until they were able to deliver on the initial ask. VideoWorks are flexible, and good humored, and adopt a professional approach to all projects. They are very creative and come up with great ideas and get the message that we are trying to convey. At this stage we wholly trust them to go out and do what we need done, and we have never had to haggle with them over pricing.Karen Ruddock, Director, PPLI
