2006

Our sister company, Jenius – IAteMyWayThrough.com – was established after a few very late nights of coding on Movable Type. As one of Australia’s longest running food & travel blogs with a readership of over 60,000 readers per month, we’re proud we have the online presence to prove that we practice what we preach.

Via I Ate My Way Through, we’ve had the honour of working with clients such as Tourism Australia, Coca Cola, Rochdale Cider, KFC, Stockland, YTL Hotels, and more!

2007

On September 26, 2006, Facebook was opened to everyone at least 13 years old.

By late 2007, Facebook had 100,000 business pages. These started as group pages, but a new concept called company pages began rolling out for businesses in May 2009.

2010

Our Founder & Managing Director, Jen, was nominated for the Cosmopolitan Magazine Fun Fearless Female (Woman Of The Year) Award 2010

2012

We decided that the food & hospitality industries shouldn’t be the only markets with access to our ‘secret sauce’. This was the year we welcomed the first of many medical and fashion clients.

2013

Our work on I Ate My Way Through won Food Blog Of The Year in the Pedestrian TV Blogster Awards 2013, an award that recognises creativity and originality of content, technology and innovation, overall design and presentation, and audience engagement!

2014

We’re tremendously proud that Jen was a finalist in the B&T Women in Media awards, in the Rising Star category for under 30’s!

2015

We moved offices! Same street but double the space!

Giving emojis some love in our new office space! ??✌️ Thanks for turning our vision into a reality @blackbookinkmurals! #emoji #emojis
