Supermoon welcomes former Deutsch partner Acquistapace
Santa Monica-based creative agency Supermoon has landed a former Deutsch LA partner, hiring Kyle Acquistapace as its new president. Acquistapace will handle day-to-day operations and business development at Supermoon.
He joins three other Deutsch LA veterans, who were founding partners at Supermoon: executive creative director David DeRoma, director of strategy Jill Burgeson, and group account director Nicole Rowett.
Acquistapace was a 16-year veteran of Deutsch LA, where he most recently held the role of partner and director of media and data strategy. There he played a crucial role in guiding Deutsch LA’s growth and culture. Acquistapace joins Supermoon after a sabbatical from Deutsch.
“Kyle’s take on leadership is hands-on and human, a perfect match for Supermoon,” said Amir Haque, who will take on the role of CEO. “He’s a champion of a disciplined form of advertising: creative and strategic, and always in the service of building a brand’s business.”
Acquistapace responded to his new role: “I wanted to help create something great again, surrounded by passionate people who trust each other. I believe there’s an evolved form of agency out there waiting to be built, an agency based on creativity and reason and fairness. And I’ve found the right group of people to bring it to life.”
Supermoon helps brands navigate the “second stage” of business life, moving from startup to growth and long-term success. The company’s clients include Ancestry, Custom Ink and Campbell’s Fresh/Bolthouse Farms. The agency also recently completed two new spots for The Honest Company, the health and lifestyle brand co-founded by Jessica Alba.
The company was founded during the supermoon eclipse of 2015, rising from the former Tiny Rebellion.
