FOCUS
I'm Kathleen O'Heron, CEO and co-founder of Jynx Productions. I've spent twenty years running an independent production company, managing clients, crews, budgets, and deadlines across broadcast, institutional, and corporate work. Before that, I worked in financial media at Bloomberg.
Focus is where I write about what that experience has taught me: about commissioning video, about working with production companies, about what separates content that does its job from content that doesn't.
