Team

Stephanie grew up in her parents' restaurant in Gordes, Provence. She spent her childhood picking up jars of olive oil at the mill, harvesting wild herbs, and helping in the kitchen and the dining room. After earning a BA in Languages and Economy at the University of Aix-en-Provence, Stephanie took time off to travel the world. She then moved to Paris and joined a PR agency, Interel, right across from Ladurée, the temple of macarons. After two years of event production and media campaigns, she integrated Groupe Victoire, the second largest insurance and finance group in Europe. For four years, she managed the internal and external communications, working in France, Germany, Denmark, and Italy. While building the company's image, she used every trip as an opportunity to educate her palate and collect new recipes.
She moved to New York in 1991, and served as international director of Creamer Dickson Basford/EURO RSCG, one of the top ten PR-Marketing agencies in the country (now Magnet Communications). She worked on national and international accounts such as Sodexho, SmithKline Beecham and Wyeth Ayer International.
Her passion for PR and her love of food were finally reunited when she created her agency, Teuwen One Image, in 1994. Devoted to food, wine/beverage, and hospitality, the agency has launched and developed brands and chefs such as Loire Valley Wines, O&CO. Olive Oils, The Chocolate Show, Chef Bill Telepan, and SerendipiTea. Stephanie was able to combine her expertise in big company strategies with the hands-on, personalized work of a boutique agency. Her clients have grown from unknown chef to three-star, from local brand to national, and from 1-digit to 2-digit sales increases.
A native of France, she is bilingual in French and English, fluent in Italian and has working knowledge of Spanish. Stephanie is an avid cook, and her recipes have appeared in cookbooks and publications. She has led more than 50 seminars on wine all over the country. She has been featured on the Food Network show Behind the Bash with host Giada DeLaurentiis. She is an active member of the Public Relations Society of America and the New York Women's Culinary Alliance, for which she chairs the wine committee. Her other passion is horseback riding.

She revels in the fact that the wine world is so international and that it combines her love of food, travel and, of course, fine wine!

Cheese: Aged Gouda or really any aged, super savory hard cheese
Wine: Too many choices – but if I could only have one, it would be vintage champagne (from an excellent vintage, of course!)
Cocktail: Gin & Tonic (classic and always a winner)

Jen Neugeboren's love for food and cooking grew after moving to Brooklyn, NY, after college. Remembering her mother's battered copy of Joy of Cooking, Jen would pore through cookbooks, trying out recipe after recipe in her tiny kitchen. This love for cookbooks eventually led to her first job in food PR, as a publicist at Workman Publishing, where she worked with several cookbook authors, including Steven Raichlen (The Barbecue Bible), Beverly Mills and Alicia Ross (Desperation Dinners!), and Judy Bart Kancigor (Cooking Jewish). To broaden her food PR experience, Jen moved next to Baltz & Company, a lifestyle PR agency specializing in restaurant PR. While there, she worked on several diverse restaurant accounts (including dell'anima, L'Artusi, Delicatessen, Armani Ristorante, Bombay Talkie, and Veritas) and beverage accounts (including Q Tonic, Hendrick's Gin, and The Balvenie whisky). Her most recent foray into the food world was as the in-house PR and Marketing Director for YB & Co., the restaurant group headed by Chef Julian Medina, which includes Toloache, Yerba Buena, Yerba Buena Perry, Toloache Taqueria, and Coppelia. At Teuwen One Image, Jen plans events and conducts media campaigns for food clients.
