Ways in, with or without formal qualifications

• Experience

  Design, video or photography background

  Clubs, brands and agencies need people who can shoot, edit, design and tell stories, and often hire on portfolio.

• Self-built

  Run a football channel, newsletter or podcast

  Consistent public work, whether writing, video, audio or data, builds an audience and a portfolio at the same time.

• Experience

  Volunteer at a club
