what makes us different

Thriving in the complex, heavily regulated arena of health care requires deep expertise across industry sectors, varied stakeholders and first-rate relationships with top-tier, business, consumer, trade and online media. 6 Degrees has that unique combination, as a results-oriented, full-service public relations firm that serves clients across the health-care spectrum.

We know that you don’t sell lattes or laptops directly to consumers. You operate with varying degrees of separation from those you serve. Messages take circuitous routes to reach patients – passing through payors, policymakers, physicians, regulators and the media, at a minimum. Understanding those degrees of separation – knowing and relishing all the pathways to reach people who matter with your message – is our core operating principle.

We deliver experiences that are meaningful, tangible, quotable, distinguishable and indelible, setting our work apart from our competition.

Our offering is unique in three ways. First, our plans focus on your business objectives. A signature media placement is of little use if it doesn’t move an organization closer to its goals. Second, we are defined by our relationships. No other health care firm is more skilled at forging relationships. Finally, we execute. Plans are only as good as the people implementing them, and our nimble, senior-based model means we deliver business-changing results.
