BRENTWOOD, Tenn., Sept. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- AAC Holdings,
Inc. (NYSE: AAC) has announced the hiring of Stephen Ebbett as its Chief Digital &
Marketing Officer, reporting to Chairman & Chief Executive
Officer, Michael Cartwright.
Ebbett will lead American Addiction Centers' outreach to those
seeking recovery from alcoholism, addiction and co-occurring mental
health disorders. As part of his duties, Ebbett will oversee
operation of AAC's Recovery Brands websites that provide news,
information and discussion forums for the recovery community.
"Today's announcement is a continuation of AAC's efforts to
develop industry-leading ways to connect with those who've found
the courage to seek help," Cartwright said. "Stephen's wealth of
experience in engaging consumers through digital channels makes him
a great fit, as increasingly, the path to recovery starts
online."
Prior to joining AAC, Ebbett served as Chief Digital Officer of
Assurant, an international, consumer-oriented provider of housing
and lifestyle protection products. He has a wealth of experience in
collaborating with companies across the digital spectrum, including
leading search engines and clients in the retail, insurance,
telecommunications and banking industries.
"Searching for help with addiction requires courage, and finding
help should be as seamless as possible, especially in a digital
landscape that is always evolving and can be confusing for
individuals," Cartwright said. "Under Stephen's leadership, we'll
continue to explore ways to help those who are seeking freedom from
addiction and to honor their willingness to change. And we'll do
this in a way that, hopefully, elevates the addiction treatment
industry as a whole."
