Explanation:
Quite a vague little sentence. I'd go for: Begeer de stijl.

A bit more context is needed I think. Who desires? The marketeer or the consumer?

Explanation:
agree with the others that more context is needed here. But I would simply choose for the above. The solution of 'Begeer' is too strong in my opinion.
