About
Ken McHugh. Creative Director, Lefthand Productions.
Everything I teach about telling a story, I learned by having to do it first.

I've spent twenty-five years in entertainment, media and business. I now spend most of it helping businesses and brands say what they mean.
That comes down to three things. Group training workshops, delivered through and supported by many Local Enterprise Offices around Ireland. One-to-one mentoring, for people who would rather be shown than sat in a room. And content made properly, for businesses who would rather it was simply done for them.
Before any of that came the records, then a career of campaigns, films and television. Which matters less for the names on the list than for what it left behind.
It's one thing to read about this. It's another to make it work with a deadline, a budget and a client in the room. That's where most of what I teach comes from: how to hold attention, what to cut, when a thing is finished.
Lefthand Productions works at the intersection of digital content, AI tools and communications. For larger jobs I bring in a trusted network of videographers, photographers, drone operators, sound engineers and designers — so you get the person you hired, with a crew behind him when the work needs one.
Based in Mullingar, working with businesses and brands all over the country.
