History
Established in 2016.
Founded in 2016 by Chris Kirksey, a former US Army linguist and signals intelligence lead, Direction is a service-disabled veteran-owned business. In 2023 we narrowed our focus to what we do best: digital marketing. Today we work exclusively with healthcare and elective medical practices, and our average client relationship runs 36+ months.
Meet the Business Owner: Chris K.
Chris served as a US Army linguist and signals intelligence lead before founding Direction. He built the agency on the values he learned in service: discipline, integrity, and accountability for results. When clients call, they get a partner who treats their practice numbers like mission objectives.
