Copywriter / Author

Copywriting is a lot like philosophy: It involves pondering a lot of head-scratching questions, pulling answers from obscure places, sharing stories that make an impact, and generally pushing yourself to be better.

That is the revelation Jamie Ryder had during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic when he was looking for something to recalibrate his path. Fast forward to consuming a bunch of podcasts, books, and articles, and he’s dug a hole too deep to climb out of.

A Manchester-based copywriter who uses philosophy to help businesses share their philosophy with the world, Ryder was inspired to set up Stoic Athenaeum through his interest in Stoicism and other ancient schools of thought. He’s on a mission to make philosophy sexy (or at least down to earth) and make timeless ideas new again.

Ryder specializes in copywriting and content marketing, including website writing, brand tone of voice creation, blogging, and content strategy. The sectors he helps range from mental health and hospitality to self-development and eCommerce.
