Former Student Launches PR Agency

The Oxford College of Marketing, one of the UK’s leading private colleges for Marketing professionals, has today supported and endorsed the launch of Jargon Public Relations, a business-to-business technology PR agency, lead by former student and lecturer Simon Corbett.

Corbett studied at the Oxford College of Marketing from 2005 – 2006 and completed the Charted Institute of Marketing (CIM) Post Graduate Diploma in Marketing – the highest level awarded by the CIM. Jargon Public Relations launches with several clients including, the UK Oracle User Group, the world’s leading Oracle User Group, Pentura, the UK’s first Risk Management Service Provider and FINCAD, a global leader in financial analytics.

Rosie Phipps, Principle at the Oxford College of Marketing comments, “We are always delighted when one of our former students sets up their own business. The skills that students learn while studying at the Oxford College of Marketing are not only theoretical but offer real world advice and help to marketing professionals. Everyone at the college wishes Simon all the best.”

Commenting on the launch of Jargon Public Relations, Simon Corbett, Managing Director, comments, “In the current economic climate clients are increasingly looking for an agency with a depth of knowledge, contacts and expertise, but without the budgets a mid to large sized agency brings.”

Corbett continues, “I have been fortunate enough to work at three of the top ten UK agencies and to have learnt from some of the best marketing tutors in the business. I am confident that my experiences and learning’s throughout the past ten years, both practical and academic, will stand me in good stead for the future.”
