Jade Rideout

My social media career started at Kitch (formerly Kitch Media) - a space that combined my love of words and creativity with a passion for food, lifestyle, and hospitality brands. I loved that they were female-founded, run by an all-women team, and worked with some of the biggest names in the foodie space. I managed accounts, attended live events and restaurant launches, and ate a LOT of good food! I will always hold a special place in my heart for Natalie and the Kitch ladies.

After a brief career break traveling Australia with my partner, I took a freelance role at Trapeze Media—a creative digital marketing agency in the restaurant space. I was fortunate to work with another team of strong women led by an expert in her field who became my mentor as I expanded into wider marketing and grew my portfolio of food brands. This experience sparked my love for creative collaboration!
