🎬 Building a Career in Content Creation (Without Going to University)
A Talk with Oli Kane

What if you didn’t take the traditional route — and it still worked?

In this honest and motivating talk, local videographer Oli Kane shares his real-world journey into content creation, proving that passion, persistence, and practice can build a career without a university degree.

From picking up a camera at just 16 to becoming Cambridge United’s club videographer during one of the most exciting chapters in the club’s recent history — including promotion to League One and the unforgettable 2022 FA Cup run — Oli has carved out a career by saying yes to opportunities and learning on the job.

Now founder of SortedContent, a Cambridgeshire-focused content creation agency, Oli brings first-hand insight into working in sport, building a portfolio, and turning creativity into a profession.

What the Talk Covers:

  • Oli’s journey into videography without formal training
  • Working in football, action sports, and branded content
  • Lessons learned from real-world projects (and mistakes)
  • Practical advice for aspiring creators
  • Open Q&A — ask anything about content, careers, or confidence

👤 About Oli Kane
Oli is a self-taught videographer based near Cambridge. Alongside his work with Cambridge United, he has led content teams as Head of Content at Football Fun Factory and now runs SortedContent, helping local brands tell their stories through video. His work is driven by authenticity, storytelling, and proof that there’s more than one way into a creative career.

🎟️ Whether you’re at school, freelancing, switching careers, or just curious about life behind the camera — this talk is an inspiring reminder that there’s no single path to success.
