DIREC Educational Programming is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and is an acronym for Distributors of Intelligent and Revolutionary Equipment and Content. Located in Sugar Land, Texas.
DIREC was founded by Jon Lindgren to accommodate specialized education and distribution through broadcast and online outlets. Providing video production and experience to qualified educators focusing on specific demographics allows for intelligent and many times revolutionary communication outcomes. Although we develop content for general audiences, we find nonprofits with a focus on education, become our best partners for measurable results.
DIREC partners to examine undeveloped areas of education in specific people groups, identify the most current method of education for that group, and help finds the most effective distribution for engagement.
A multi-platform media organization, DIREC currently serves in healthcare, law enforcement, schools, and the general public through television, mobile devices, the web, and app creation.
For its medical programming, DIREC receives counsel from an advisory board that includes members from the hospitals we serve, national health foundations and associations, community leaders, and DIREC personnel. Our team includes healthcare professionals, IT technicians, communications and marketing specialists, and broadcast producers.

"When clients or partners first realize that the best audience for growing their business is within, annual growth and gaining market share become more achievable. Organizations spend too much time and money on external marketing, while building their brand internally provides organic growth to boost profitability. Standard marketing is necessary, but fostering trust and loyalty from within enhances core values and creates its own form of viral marketing. " Jon Lindgren
