Simon Corbett founded The Jargon Group in 2009 with a clear goal: to build an agency that delivers international campaigns that build businesses.
One driven by high standards, strong values, and a culture that supports people as much as it pushes them to succeed.
Starting his career at Weber Shandwick, before moving to Edelman, and Porter Novelli, Simon recognised how great teams and clear development pathways directly shape the quality of an agency’s work. That philosophy sits at the heart of The Jargon Group.
Under his leadership, the agency has become known for helping clients punch above their weight and being consistent, collaborative, and easy to work with. This is reflected in multiple industry awards and the consistent achievement of PRCA CMS accreditation.
Outside work, Simon is a father of two, a motorsport and football fan, and a regular speaker at technology and start-up events. He also lectures on CIM courses and stays closely connected to the next generation of PR professionals.

THE JARGON JOURNEY
Jargon PR has completed five strategic acquisitions that have materially strengthened our capabilities and accelerated our growth: Vantage PR, Souter PR, Glohouse Communications, Pelican Communications and XL Communications. Each of these businesses brought something distinct — specialist sector knowledge, seasoned PR talent, regional depth, and long-standing client relationships that complement our own. Together, they’ve expanded our footprint across B2B technology, corporate communications, sustainability, food & environment, and strategic media relations, giving us a more powerful and diverse platform to build from.
By integrating these agencies into The Jargon Group, we’ve been able to scale quickly while maintaining the agility and client service standards we’re known for. These acquisitions have strengthened our leadership bench, widened our expertise, and created new opportunities for cross-selling, collaboration and innovation across the Group. As a result, Jargon PR is now operating with greater breadth, sharper focus, and the momentum of a company that’s playing firmly on the front foot — and these five acquisitions have been at the heart of that transformation.
