About
Hi, I'm Stacey Jones, the culinary creative behind the Secret Sauce. I grew up in the UK, studying at Oxford University, before spending 5 years at TBWA\London and The Red Brick Road, managing campaigns for global brands including Nissan and Tesco.
Relocating to Kiwi shores, I married my passion for food with marketing expertise, founding Kitchen Takeover – an endlessly sold-out secret supper experience with over 15,000 diners served, two NZ Event Awards, the largest event in Wellington on A Plate 2023 and countless collabs with celebrity chefs .
I'm now ready for the next adventure, stirring together my experience, passion and knowledge to cook up marketing and experiences that leave a lasting impression.
