Sr. VP/Events Erick Long Exits ACM

Erick Long

Former Sr. VP/Events at the Academy of Country Music Erick Long has exited his position after more than 12 years with the organization. His last day was Friday, May 28.

The news comes days after former Sr. VP/Marketing Brooke Primero’s exit.

Long joined the Academy in 2009 from Universal Studios after a prior stop with the Salt Lake Olympics. While searching for his next project, he will consult on several events and productions.

“I’m so proud of how much the ACM has accomplished over the years especially the Diversity & Inclusion Task Force, Radio Remotes, robust internship and volunteer programs—alongside of course producing hundreds of events, many of which helped raise millions of dollars for ACM Lifting Lives,” says Long.
