In 2003 after moving back to New York from California, Seth was initially hired to develop Alure’s new hire training orientation. Quickly recognizing Seth’s call center experience, Alure President soon promoted him to manage Alure’s call center, and 6 months later, was promoted to Director of Marketing, assuming responsibilities for all of Alure’s advertising, events, website, branding, digital marketing and other marketing related duties, as well as overseeing Alure’s call center.

What I Love About Alure:

The Culture.
Before Alure, I never really understood what it was like to work in a company that felt like a family, with everyone working together and actually caring about each other. Several of my coworkers have become some of my closest friends.
