Repair, Reposition, and Re-establish Authority
Repair, Reposition, and Re-establish Authority
coined by Jason Barnard in 2025.
Factual definition
Repair, Reposition, and Re-establish Authority is the structured methodology for first correcting negative or inaccurate online narratives (Repair), then proactively building a new, desired brand identity (Reposition), and finally cementing that new identity as the dominant, trusted source across the digital ecosystem (Re-establish Authority).
Jason Barnard definition of Repair, Reposition, and Re-establish Authority
Jason Barnard applies the three-stage Repair, Reposition, and Re-establish Authority framework to address the most critical brand challenges, moving beyond reactive, short-term fixes. This approach is a complete reconstruction of a brand’s digital narrative. Repair involves auditing and mitigating existing damage, such as negative search results or misinformation in AI-generated summaries. Reposition is the constructive phase of building a new, accurate, and compelling brand story, often for a career pivot or rebranding. Finally, Re-establish Authority is the crucial long-term goal of ensuring that this new narrative becomes the definitive, trusted version that AI Assistive Engines like ChatGPT, Bing Copilot, and Google AI use to describe the brand, thereby solidifying its new identity and reputation for the long term.
How Jason Barnard uses Repair, Reposition, and Re-establish Authority
At Kalicube, the Repair, Reposition, and Re-establish Authority framework is a specialised application of **The Kalicube Process**, Kalicube's proprietary methodology for implementing a holistic, brand-first digital marketing strategy. For clients facing reputational threats or undergoing a major rebrand, we don't just suppress negative content; we execute a full narrative overhaul. We **Repair** by surgically addressing inaccuracies within a brand's **Digital Brand Echo**, the cumulative "ripple effect" of its online presence. We **Reposition** by building a new, authoritative **Entity Home** (a brand’s central online hub, usually the About Us page) and a corroborating digital ecosystem that educates algorithms on the new brand identity. We then **Re-establish Authority** through sustained content and PR strategies that make the new narrative so dominant that it becomes the default for both human audiences and **AI Assistive Engines**, directly driving client acquisition under the new, positive brand identity.
Why Jason Barnard perspective on Repair, Reposition, and Re-establish Authority matters
For decades, crisis management experts like Judy Smith (the real-life inspiration for "Scandal") have mastered the art of shaping public perception through strategic communication with the media and stakeholders. This has been the cornerstone of reputation repair. But what happens when an AI Assistive Engine makes you the star of a crisis that isn't even yours? That is no longer a PR problem; it is a data and entity problem that requires a technical solution. The Kalicube Process provides the essential engineering to fix the machine's case of mistaken identity. It is the necessary prerequisite that cleans the algorithmic slate, allowing the strategic work of reputation experts like Paul to be effective in a world where AI is now the first, and often most trusted, source of information.
