Corporate video cost in Ireland: 2026 prices and what drives them

A 2 to 3 minute corporate film from one full shoot day in Dublin typically costs about €3,800–€4,500 ex VAT, with concept, script support and captions included. A short interview-only film from a half-day shoot starts from about €2,750. Add extras such as drone, motion graphics and social resizes and it's about €5,000–€6,000. Multi-day campaigns run well beyond €10,000.

How much does a corporate video cost in Ireland?

There's no single price, because "corporate video" covers everything from a two-minute customer testimonial to a recruitment campaign filmed across several sites. These are typical prices for typical projects, worked out from the same pricing logic our instant quote calculator uses:

All prices exclude VAT (23%) and assume a shoot in Dublin. Concept, script support and captions are included as standard. Most of our projects land between €3,000 and €8,000. These are typical figures, not quotes: the instant quote calculator gives an estimate for your own project within minutes.

If your project is an event film rather than a corporate piece, event videos start from about €3,200. Livestreams start from about €2,950. Our event video pricing guide and livestream pricing guide cover those separately.

What do the extras cost?

These are the common add-ons, all excluding VAT:

• Drone footage: about €250 per shoot day, where the location suits it (outdoors and legal to fly).
• Social cut-downs from the same shoot: about €150–€250 each.
• Professional voiceover: about €250–€600 for a typical short or standard film.
• Sound design and mixing: about €300–€400 for a standard film.
• Stills from the shoot: about €350 for a standard set.
• Rush turnaround: adds about 50% to the editing part of the price.
• Filming outside Dublin: travel time is added to the quote up front, and an overnight stay adds roughly €250–€350.

What affects the cost of a corporate video?

The price follows the work. These are the factors that move it most:

• Shoot days. A half day, a full day or several days is the single biggest driver.
• Crew size. A single camera operator costs less than a crew with a director, a second camera and a sound recordist. More crew gives you more control over lighting, sound and performance.
• Locations and travel. Each extra location adds set-up time. Travel outside Dublin is built into the quote up front.
• Editing time. A simple interview cut takes far less time than a story built from several interviews, b-roll and music.
• Number of versions. Square and vertical versions, cut-downs for social and subtitled versions each add editing time.
• Motion graphics and animation. Animated titles, data and logos add specialist time in post-production.
• Drone footage. Useful for sites, campuses and scale, but it needs a licensed pilot, planning and a location where it's legal to fly.
• Voiceover and presenters. Professional voices and on-screen talent are an extra cost.
• Rush turnaround. A tight deadline means more editing hours in less time, which adds about 50% to the editing part of the price.

What's included in a corporate video budget?

A professional quote should cover three stages. If any of them is missing from a quote you've been sent, ask why.

Pre-production: planning and script

This is where the film is shaped: agreeing the goal and audience, writing the script or interview questions, planning shots, and booking people and locations. Good planning makes the shoot faster and the edit cheaper, because fewer things need fixing later. Every Mango project includes the concept and script in the price.

Production: the shoot

Filming covers the crew, camera, lighting and sound kit, and the time on location. Sound is the part people notice most when it goes wrong, so it's worth asking how it will be recorded.

Post-production: the edit

Editing turns the footage into a finished film: structuring the story, colour grading, sound mixing, licensed music, titles and captions. Captions are included in every Mango project. Revisions belong here too, so check how many rounds a quote includes and how extra changes are handled.

What does a corporate video budget get you?

These are hypothetical illustrations, not quotes, to show how scope changes the work involved.

• A two-minute customer case study. One interview, some b-roll filmed at the customer's site, a half-day shoot and one edit with captions. Typically about €3,300–€4,000.
• A recruitment film with social cut-downs. Three or four staff interviews, a full shoot day across two rooms or sites, a main film and three short vertical versions for LinkedIn and Instagram. The film is typically about €3,800–€4,500, and each cut-down adds about €150–€250.
• A brand campaign. Two or more shoot days, a scripted concept, drone footage, motion graphics, two hero films and a set of cut-downs. This is where budgets go beyond €10,000.

How can you get more value from a corporate video budget?

Film several things on one shoot day

The crew is already there, so capturing extra interviews and b-roll costs far less than coming back. One shoot can give you a main film, social cut-downs and short staff profiles. Our post on turning one video into 10 pieces of content shows how.

Decide where the video will be used before you start

Knowing the platforms early means the crew can frame shots for vertical and square versions on the day. Adding those versions at the planning stage is cheaper than reworking the edit later.

Be clear about the deliverables

An accurate quote depends on knowing the final length, the number of versions, the key messages and your deadline. The clearer the brief, the fewer surprises.

A couple of reference videos help everyone agree on tone and style early, which cuts down on revisions.

Why are some corporate video quotes so much cheaper?

A low quote usually means less time somewhere: a shorter shoot, a smaller crew, a quicker edit or fewer revisions. That can be fine for a simple internal update. For a film that represents your company to clients or recruits, poor sound, flat lighting and a rushed edit tend to shorten how long you can use it.

When you compare quotes, compare the scope, not only the total. Ask who will be on the shoot, what's included, how many revision rounds you get and whether the price is fixed. Our guide to choosing a video production company in Ireland has a fuller checklist.

At Mango you get one fixed price in writing, plus VAT, before anything starts, and any changes are agreed in writing first.
