History
In 1990, David Ansett and Dean Butler created Storm Design, a brand design agency. In 2000, Peter Singline created Brand DNA, a specialist brand strategy consultancy.

Storm Design and Brand DNA partnered together on many projects and officially merged as a single corporate entity in July 2006. The organisation continued under two separate brand names until they rebranded to Truly Deeply in June 2010.

Peter Singline and David Ansett are both still actively involved in Truly Deeply today.
