In May of 2000 cousins and good pals Ryan Goddard (left) and Thomas Mulligan (right) sit down together and decide to take their respective futures into their own hands - so they hammer out a few ideas over some red wine and steaks. They want to build a creative think-tank capable of thriving in a competitive marketplace by providing outstanding creative services with a unique flavour. It must be small, yet resourceful but still large enough to handle the corporate big boys.

Thus, over perfectly grilled steaks and a great bottle of Australian Shiraz, Inkwell was born.
