About Desré

Desrés’ first major success story was in photography, coming from obscurity in 2001 through to being one of the world’s leading and most recognised white water sport photographers by 2004.

Indeed, the most published white water sports photographer in North America for two years in a row and the very first female to ever win the Red Bull Illume in 2007, taking out two awards – Lifestyle and Athlete’s Choice.

In 2008, at the peak of her photography career, she was involved with marketing Red Bull and Teva athletes and had the idea to use a relatively new online medium that was only 4 years old – Facebook!

She then slid into marketing her own work with the unique advantage of understanding what resonates with audiences having seen how her content was being used and consumed in the media ranging from National Geographic through to Ripley’s Believe It Or Not and national newspapers.

Her knowledge and experience grew and developed until she started Blue Flame Social Media with her husband in 2011.

Personally, she is responsible for tens of thousands of posts (and counting), Ads and strategy for hundreds of businesses, both big and small, across multiple industries and millions of dollars in Ad spend under her belt.

As a result, she is now a trusted advisor and trainer for global brands and media agencies.

Desré also offers a specialised Facebook/Meta consultancy and training service for big brand clients geared towards comprehensively assisting with social asset management, security, marketing and staff capabilities.
