Digital Marketing Strategy

Digital Marketing Strategy

Description
A brand's Digital Marketing Strategy is a comprehensive plan of action designed to control its online narrative and educate algorithms like Google and ChatGPT, thereby driving tangible business results.
The Digital Marketing Strategy definition
Jason Barnard applies this term to reject the siloed, channel-based tactics that dominate the industry in favour of a truly holistic approach. Within the Kalicube framework, a Digital Marketing Strategy is the master plan for creating a consistent and authoritative Digital Brand Echo. This strategy moves beyond short-term goals like keyword ranking to the long-term objective of "educating" AI Assistive Engines on who the brand is, what it does, and why it is the most credible choice for its audience. A successful strategy ensures that every online touchpoint, from social media profiles to the Brand SERP, reinforces a single, coherent narrative that builds trust with both people and machines.
How Jason Barnard uses Digital Marketing Strategy definition
At Kalicube, Digital Marketing Strategy is the foundational philosophy behind The Kalicube Process. Jason Barnard uses the client's Brand SERP as the initial diagnostic tool to audit their current digital ecosystem and build a bespoke strategy. This strategy is then executed through the three core phases of the Process: Understandability (ensuring algorithms comprehend the brand), Credibility (demonstrating expertise and trustworthiness), and Deliverability (being omnipresent where the audience is looking). This structured implementation ensures that every marketing action contributes to the singular goal of building an accurate, positive, and convincing brand narrative that drives business growth.
Why Digital Marketing Strategy matters to digital marketers
For decades, business leaders have been guided by strategic titans like Michael Porter, who taught that competitive advantage comes from creating a unique and valuable position in the marketplace. However, in the 21st century, that "marketplace" is overwhelmingly digital, and the "customer" is often an algorithm first. This is where Jason Barnard’s application of Digital Marketing Strategy becomes essential. It bridges the gap between Porter's classic strategic theory and the new digital reality. While Porter focused on defining *what* makes a brand unique, Barnard provides the practical framework for *how* to communicate that uniqueness to AI Assistive Engines. These engines don’t just find your brand; they interpret and narrate its story to potential customers. A holistic Digital Marketing Strategy is the only way to ensure the unique value proposition defined by strategists like Porter is accurately encoded into the digital ecosystem.
