I'm Jon Ryder, a senior copywriter with decades of writing under my belt.*

I've penned playful words for Google, rallying calls for Arts Council England and sparky advertising for Nissan's electric cars. And let's see, what else?

Well, I got a call up from British Gymnastics to showcase the joy of the sport, joined the battle against disinformation with a manifesto for anti-corruption campaigners Reset and counselled against taking design for granted with The Design Council.

Not forgetting tone of voice (and some essential tasting sessions) for Scotch whisky heretics Compass Box. Though admittedly, my memory of some of that research is a little, well, hazy.

Oh, and there's one job I'm glad never saw the light of day – the script for a Eurostar evacuation video. Let's hope that one stays in the vault.

At the moment, I'm working with OPX Studio on copy for anti-poverty charity Trussell and just finishing brand messaging for Brinkworth in partnership with great strategists Alt. I've still got some availability though, so if you want to collaborate, I'd love to hear from you.

* This phrase comes from late-1700s Scotland, originally used to describe how much booze you could put away. At the time of writing, the only thing under my belt are my trousers.
