It started
with desire.

Paul G. Roberts — Founder & CEO

From an independent creative agency to a Marketing and Media Groupe.

Founded by Paul G. Roberts in Melbourne in 1993, DESIRE began as an independent creative agency, helping businesses discover what made them different—and giving people a reason to care.

Brand strategy. Design. Advertising. Marketing. Ideas built to move businesses forward.

Over three decades, that curiosity has taken us into publishing, digital media, documentary filmmaking and entertainment. Today, DESIRE GROUPE brings together DESIRE AGENCY, FASHION INDUSTRY BROADCAST and DESIRE GROUPE STUDIOS.

Each has its own purpose. Together, they connect creative thinking with the ability to make things happen.

1993AN INDEPENDENT BEGINNING.
AN EXPANDING WORLD.

Three connected businesses.
Decades of experience.
An appetite for what comes next.

Make your brand
mean something.

Great brands give people something to believe in, identify with and choose.

We help businesses find that meaning and express it through strategy, identity, design, advertising and experiences.

Our work spans brand creation and repositioning, product innovation, campaign development, content and digital communication. From a new venture finding its voice to an established business ready for its next chapter.

We bring experience, commercial understanding and independent creative judgement to every brief.
