Twenty Years of Getting It Right
Jynx Productions is an independent video production company with deep roots in broadcast journalism and a proven track record across corporate, institutional, and documentary content.
We bring a journalist's instincts to every project, the discipline to find the story that matters, the skill to tell it with integrity, and the operational experience to deliver it without drama.
Our Story
Jynx Productions was founded in 2005 by Kathleen O'Heron and Johannes Wiebus, two media professionals who met at Bloomberg LP and left to build something of their own. They put down roots in Maine and founded Jynx.
Between them, they brought a rare depth of experience in financial media. Kathleen had joined Bloomberg's European newsroom in London before being promoted to Global Head of Post Production and relocating to New York. Johannes had produced financial programming for Bloomberg's German-language channel, presented on air, and interviewed C-suite executives of major companies, including producing live programming from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.
They had worked inside one of the most demanding editorial environments in global media. That standard; precision, reliability, and the discipline to get it right under pressure, is what they set out to build a company around.
In the twenty years since, Jynx has produced content across 46 states and on four continents, for premiere broadcasters, global institutions, universities, financial firms, and mission-driven organizations.
The company has remained independent, founder-led, and deliberately boutique. Not because we couldn't grow larger, but because the quality of the work has always mattered more than the volume of it.
ABOUT The Founders
Co-Founder, CEO
Kathleen's career in media began at NYU, where she completed a master's degree in film studies. She joined Bloomberg LP as part of the founding team that launched the company's European newsroom in London; two years later was promoted to Global Head of Post Production and relocated to the New York office.
That experience, building post-production infrastructure for one of the world's most demanding financial media organizations, across two continents, is the standard she brought to Jynx when she co-founded it in 2005.
As CEO, Kathleen runs the business end of Jynx, from new client development and long-term relationships to financial operations and strategic growth. She is the company’s technology lead, Post Production Supervisor on all projects and serves as Lead Editor on select work, meaning clients always have a senior, experienced hand in the edit suite.
She is also the person you will speak to first. Kathleen leads every new client conversation personally.
The Jynx approach
Co-Founder & Executive Producer
Johannes built his career at Bloomberg LP, where he produced financial programming for the company's German-language channel. Working with a small, focused team, he was responsible for producing, presenting, and interviewing, including on-camera interviews with C-suite executives of major international companies.
He later relocated to Bloomberg's New York office to produce programming from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, one of the most demanding live production environments in financial media.
As Executive Producer at Jynx, Johannes leads the editorial and production side of the company. He develops every project, leads the pitch process with broadcast clients, and runs productions from pre-production through wrap. The instincts he developed interviewing senior executives at Bloomberg, how to prepare, how to listen, how to get past the prepared answer to the real one, are what make Jynx's interview work stand apart.
He is the person on the ground, in the room, on the road, and behind the camera when it matters.
Clients working with Jynx get both of them. That is not something most production companies can offer.
Every project we take on, whether a documentary series for a European broadcaster, a conference film for a global institution, or a corporate video for a financial services firm, goes through the same fundamental process.
We start by asking a lot of questions. What is this piece actually for? Who needs to watch it, and what do you need them to feel or understand when they do? What is the one thing this film must communicate, above everything else?
These are not small questions, and we do not move past them quickly. The answers shape everything that follows: the narrative structure, the production approach, the editorial decisions, the final cut.
Development
We work with you to define the story, the audience, and the objective. For corporate and institutional clients, this often means helping to clarify what you are actually trying to achieve, and sometimes gently pushing back on the first answer, because the first answer is rarely the whole story.
Pre-Production
We plan everything. Logistics, scheduling, crew, access, locations, rights. We handle the complexity so you don't have to. By the time cameras roll, there are no surprises.
Production
Our crews are experienced, efficient, and discreet. Whether we are filming a keynote address, a CEO interview, a multi-day conference, or a documentary subject in a sensitive situation, we know how to work in environments where professionalism is not optional.
Post-Production
This is where the film is made. Kathleen oversees post-production on every project, and leads the edit personally on select work. We do not hand your project to a junior editor and check back in at delivery. You have a senior hand on the project from first cut to final master.
Delivery
We deliver on time, in the format you need, with full documentation. For broadcast clients, that means meeting technical specifications down to the frame. For corporate clients, it means a finished asset you can use immediately, across whatever channels you need.
Why Jynx
Founder-led. Kathleen and Johannes are not figureheads — they are the people actually doing the work on your project. Every client relationship is managed at the top.
Broadcast journalism background. We come from demanding editorial environments — including years in financial media at Bloomberg — where precision and reliability were not optional. That standard is what we bring to every corporate project.
Senior oversight through delivery. Kathleen personally supervises post-production on every project and serves as Lead Editor on select work. You are never handed off to a junior team after the brief is signed.
Institutional track record. We have produced content at the highest level of institutional complexity, including multi-year work with the World Bank Group. We understand environments where the margin for error is low.
Twenty years and still here. In an industry with a high turnover rate, longevity is a signal. We have been operating continuously since 2005. Our longest client relationships span multiple years and multiple projects.
Let's Talk
If you have a project in mind, or still figuring out what you need, we are easy to reach and happy to have an honest conversation about what it would take to make it happen.
Kathleen leads every new client conversation personally. There is no intake form, no sales team, no junior account manager. Just a direct conversation with someone who has been doing this for twenty years and can tell you quickly whether we are the right fit.
