Hi Phiers,
Are you passionate about writing and creating content? Would you like to harness your writing skills outside academia but don’t know how? If yes, then, a career in content marketing might be just the right fit for you!
Yesterday we hosted an online career workshop on content marketing. Alex Yates (PhD) told us all about how he built his career in content marketing with a philosophy background.
Alex emphasised that the ability to learn fast, write clearly, and see the big picture, which philosophy students acquire during their studies, have proven invaluable for a professional business writing career.
And there are many more ways in which a Humanities degree can be put to good use in the content marketing world. Read about the 10 ways that Humanities advance content marketing.
You might be worried that transitioning out of academia won’t allow you to ‘do’ philosophy anymore. Can you still read philosophy and think about hard questions the way you do now? Turns out you can! Here’s how Alex creatively reapplied some bits of philosophy to business.
We hope you find these resources useful. If you couldn’t attend yesterday’s events, they should get you up to speed with being a philosopher trying to break into the content marketing field.
Alex is willing to answer all the questions you might have about this line of work. You can contact him on LinkedIn or email him (alexander.yates4@gmail.com) if you’d like to network and chat about writing for business.
Thanks for supporting us, showing up to our events and sharing our posts. We hope you find our work useful.

Best wishes,
The Let’s Phi Team.
