Kyle Acquistapace

As Executive Media Director, Kyle leads media strategy and investment across the agency, ensuring every plan balances precision, performance, and creative impact. He’s particularly passionate about the intersection of media rigor and messaging—finding the right moment, place, and context for ideas to do their best work.

Before joining Drake Cooper, Kyle led media, public relations, and experiential efforts at Team One Advertising, working with brands like Lexus, Cathay Pacific Airways, and Ste. Michelle Wine Estates. His instinct for media started early. At just eight years old, he was already writing letters to companies he believed were advertising in the wrong cartoons (none wrote back, but the point still stands).

Based in Manhattan Beach, California, Kyle lives with his family and is always in pursuit of the perfect cup of coffee.
