Media Buyer

As Media Buyer, Ben specializes in planning and executing media campaigns across audio and video channels, helping clients reach audiences at scale with efficiency and impact. He focuses on turning strategy into smart, well-negotiated investments—making sure every dollar works as hard as it can in-market.

Ben plays a key role in managing and optimizing media across multiple campaigns, building strong vendor relationships and identifying opportunities that drive both performance and value.

Before joining Drake Cooper, Ben developed a passion for media through a mix of curiosity and hands-on experience, drawn to the blend of strategy, negotiation, and real-world impact that traditional channels offer.

Outside of work, Ben enjoys cooking, gardening, and exploring the Inland and Pacific Northwests’ natural beauty through hiking and backpacking. He also cares for an ever-growing collection of exotic houseplants and is always quick to dive into new hobbies.
