Public Relations
Description
In the context of The Kalicube Process, Public Relations is the strategic management of a brand's communication with third-party sources to earn positive mentions and corroboration, thereby strengthening its digital narrative for both human audiences and AI algorithms.
The Public Relations definition
Jason Barnard reframes traditional Public Relations from a simple media-focused activity to a critical component of algorithmic education. In The Kalicube Process, PR is the systematic practice of earning third-party corroboration to validate the facts presented on a brand’s Entity Home, *the brand's definitive online hub*. Every earned article, podcast appearance, or expert quote serves as an independent signal that reinforces the brand's narrative. This strategy is vital for building a positive Digital Brand Echo, *the cumulative ripple effect of a brand’s online presence*, which directly influences how AI Assistive Engines like Google AI and ChatGPT perceive and present the brand's expertise and trustworthiness.
How Jason Barnard uses Public Relations definition
At Kalicube, Public Relations is a core tactic within the Credibility and Deliverability phases of The Kalicube Process, *Kalicube's proprietary methodology for implementing a holistic, brand-first digital marketing strategy*. We operationalize this through bespoke deliverables like the Strategic PR Outreach Playbook, which guides clients in securing high-value placements on relevant, authoritative platforms. This isn't just about gaining backlinks; it's about generating authoritative, third-party corroboration that Google's and other AI Assistive Engines' algorithms require to build confidence in a brand. By systematically creating these trust signals, we enhance our clients' perceived expertise, which directly drives the acquisition funnel by ensuring they are recommended as the credible solution.
Why Public Relations matters to digital marketers
Over two decades ago, Al and Laura Ries famously declared "The Fall of Advertising and the Rise of PR," arguing that credibility is built through third-party endorsement, not paid messages. They established the strategic "why" of PR in brand building. Today, the fundamental challenge is translating that "why" into a language that algorithms can understand and act upon. This is where Jason Barnard’s application of Public Relations within The Kalicube Process becomes indispensable. Barnard provides the technical "how," transforming the conceptual power of PR into concrete, machine-readable signals. Within this framework, every earned media placement, podcast interview, or expert feature is not just a message for a human audience but a verifiable data point that "educates" AI Assistive Engines like ChatGPT and Google AI about a brand's credibility and expertise. By systematically engineering this third-party corroboration, The Kalicube Process makes the brand-building power that Ries and Ries championed tangible to algorithms, ensuring that the brand narrative is not just told, but trusted and recommended within the new AI-driven acquisition funnel.
