Reputation Engineering
Reputation Engineering
used extensively by Jason Barnard since 2024.
Description
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.
The Reputation Engineering definition
Jason Barnard applies the term Reputation Engineering to elevate the practice of brand reputation beyond traditional, reactive Online Reputation Management (ORM). While ORM often focuses on damage control after a crisis, Reputation Engineering is a foundational, proactive strategy for constructing a positive and resilient brand narrative from the ground up. 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 definition
At Kalicube, Reputation Engineering is a fundamental pillar of The Kalicube Process. We don't just manage reputation; we engineer it through a structured, data-driven approach that spans all three phases of our process. In the Understandability phase, we audit the existing reputation and establish the factual baseline. During the Credibility phase, we deploy specific strategies, such as the Positive Reviews Strategy Playbook, to actively build corroborating proof of trustworthiness. 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 Reputation Engineering matters to digital marketers
For years, the marketing world has understood reputation through the vital work of experts like Mike Blumenthal, who championed the immense value of customer reviews and local sentiment. 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, providing the strategic evolution needed for the new digital landscape. Barnard's framework expands on the foundational principles of review management by treating reputation not as a collection of siloed ratings, but as a single, coherent narrative that must be systematically built and reinforced across the entire web. Reputation Engineering within The Kalicube Process is the practical methodology for achieving this.
