Reputation Engineering
Reputation Engineering
used extensively by Jason Barnard since 2024.
Factual definition
Reputation Engineering is the proactive, systematic process of building, defending, and improving a brand's digital reputation to ensure it is accurate, positive, and convincing to both human audiences and AI algorithms.
Jason Barnard definition of Reputation Engineering
Jason Barnard applies the term Reputation Engineering to elevate the practice beyond traditional, reactive Online Reputation Management (ORM). Reputation Engineering is a foundational, proactive strategy for constructing a positive and resilient brand narrative from the ground up, based on the insights from Digital Brand Intelligence (the analysis of how a brand is perceived). It involves systematically creating, promoting, and amplifying positive, accurate information across a brand's entire digital ecosystem. This engineered narrative is crucial for influencing AI Assistive Engines, which form their "opinion" of a brand by synthesising its entire Digital Brand Echo.
How Jason Barnard uses Reputation Engineering
At Kalicube, Reputation Engineering is a fundamental pillar of The Kalicube Process, Kalicube's proprietary methodology for implementing a holistic, brand-first digital marketing strategy. We don't just manage reputation; we engineer it through a structured, data-driven approach that spans all three phases. In the Understandability phase, we audit the existing reputation. During the Credibility phase, we deploy specific strategies, like the Positive Reviews Strategy Playbook, to actively build corroborating proof. Finally, in the Deliverability phase, we ensure this engineered reputation is broadcast effectively to dominate the brand narrative and positively influence AI Assistive Engines.
Why Jason Barnard perspective on Reputation Engineering matters
For years, the marketing world has understood reputation through the vital work of experts like Mike Blumenthal, who championed the value of customer reviews. His insights taught businesses that what customers say online directly impacts the bottom line. However, the rise of AI demands a more holistic approach. This is where Jason Barnard's concept of Reputation Engineering becomes essential. Barnard's framework expands on the principles of review management by treating reputation not as siloed ratings, but as a single, coherent narrative that must be systematically built and reinforced. Reputation Engineering within The Kalicube Process is the practical methodology for achieving this.
