Systems and Processes
We invest in a mixture of systems, some paid and others of our own making to ensure we know what search engines and key media in your sectors are looking for and making sure we can get you featured and linked to at every possible opportunity.
We have team members covering every time zone who are experts at using these tools to generate maximum ROI for our clients.
This allows us to be exceptionally fast with identifying and capitalizing on these opportunities for our clients. We have found this provides exceptional value to our clients by building brand awareness amongst journalists and consumers as well as building links.Something about systems and then link to

and reporting
We want our clients to be in the know about everything to do with our work.
When we start working together we will discuss your prefered method of sharing documents and setup folders, tracking and planning documents that integrate with your workflow. Making it quick and easy for you to get access to all your assets and check in on the status of any aspect of our work.
Alongside this we setup a dedicated email that goes to the whole Shift6 team working with you. This makes sure everyone is in the loop on every conversation.
Measurement
We measure EVERYTHING – The nature of search algorithms and in turn, how news and information travels, changes rapidly. As such we make every effort to keep an eye on this by tracking, not just our core KPIs, but other metrics so we can determine what is creating the greatest influence for you.
We will conduct a monthly call where we provide updates and deliver a monthly report of coverage, warm leads and metrics relating to previous coverage and social media statistics. We will do a further 6 monthly deep dive to investigate what is working well, what can be optimized and identify new opportunities.
What we will measure
Most important to NLM Photonics
Getting Results
- Measuring coverage quantity and quality is important. We do this by assessing the audience it reaches, the size of that audience and the SEO value from links gained from that coverage.
- Tracking social media impact and website referral traffic is also important. We encourage clients to look at this both in the short and long term and the nature of our work is that you should see consistent value from it in both instances as opposed to traditional PR which tends to have short lived benefits.
- Measuring comparative domain authority growth is important during this process as this consistently shows where you sit in relation to your competitors and allows for the growth of your website strength to be seen irrespective of whether there are changes to the Google algorithm.

Journalist Consulting Board
Having over a decade of PR experience we have media contacts in almost every sector of the industry. These relationships allow us to create bespoke journalist review panels for every campaign or strategy, ideas,press materials, pitches, press invitations, media centers etc.
This allows us to refine a strategy BEFORE we use resources pursuing it.
We have built a unique system for recruiting and managing journalist feedback on these systems while keeping clients anonymised during the process.
While no one has a crystal ball, this system allows us to gauge interest with the very people we want covering our campaigns.Media love it because it works for them and we love it because it significantly reduces risk and increases results for our clients, with the side benefit of giving us a constant flow of dialog about their changeingneeds, interests and preferences.
These people provide insight, research and expert commentary which significantly increases the impact of our content and stories.
