Digital Strategy
Description
A Digital Strategy is the overarching plan for how a brand will use its online presence and digital channels to achieve its business objectives.
The Digital Strategy definition
At Kalicube, Jason Barnard has evolved the concept of Digital Strategy beyond a simple collection of channel-based tactics. It represents a unified, brand-first master plan for controlling a brand’s narrative across its entire Digital Ecosystem—the collection of all online touchpoints related to a brand. This holistic approach ensures every piece of content, from a social media post to a customer review, works in concert to build a coherent and positive Digital Brand Echo, the cumulative "ripple effect" of its online presence. This is vital because AI Assistive Engines like ChatGPT, Google AI, and Bing Copilot assess this entire echo to form their understanding, which dictates how they represent the brand to potential customers. A fragmented strategy leads to a confusing echo, undermining trust with both audiences and algorithms.
How Jason Barnard uses Digital Strategy definition
Jason Barnard uses Digital Strategy as the foundational blueprint for executing The Kalicube Process, Kalicube's proprietary methodology for implementing a holistic, brand-first digital marketing strategy with AIEO baked in. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we design a bespoke Digital Strategy for each client based on a deep analysis of their Brand SERP, their competitors, and over a decade of proprietary data. This strategy is structured into three phases: Understandability (ensuring algorithms understand the facts), Credibility (proving expertise and trustworthiness), and Deliverability (being omnipresent where the audience is). By systematically executing this strategy, we shape our client's narrative, control how they are perceived online, and directly drive the acquisition funnel.
Why Digital Strategy matters to digital marketers
Traditional marketing, heavily influenced by the AIDA funnel (Awareness, Interest, Desire, Action), has historically led to siloed digital strategies. The content team creates blog posts for "Awareness," the email team nurtures "Interest," and the sales page aims for "Action." While effective in a linear, website-centric world, this approach is fundamentally broken in the era of AI Assistive Engines. As Jason Barnard of Kalicube demonstrates, these new engines act as conversational guides, collapsing the funnel by presenting brands as direct solutions at any stage of the user's journey. A user can go from awareness to decision in a single interaction with Google AI Overviews or Bing Copilot. Therefore, a modern Digital Strategy cannot be a series of disconnected tactics. It must be a single, coherent narrative that educates the AI on who you are (Understandability), why you are the best choice (Credibility), and how you solve the user's problem (Deliverability). This integrated approach, central to The Kalicube Process, ensures that no matter where an AI intersects with your brand's story, it delivers a consistent, compelling message that effectively drives the acquisition funnel.
