Personal Branding
Personal Branding
used extensively by Jason Barnard since 2015.
Description
A personal brand is the collective impression an individual makes on their audience, defined by their values, message, and actions, which ultimately determines their online reputation and what is said about them when they aren't in the room.
The Personal Branding definition
Jason Barnard frames Personal Branding not as a passive reputation but as an active, strategic process of educating algorithms. In an era where first impressions are formed on Google and decisions are influenced by AI Assistive Engines like ChatGPT and Google AI, leaving your narrative to chance is a critical business risk. The core of modern Personal Branding is to establish a definitive source of truth about yourself—typically a personal website known as the Entity Home. This provides a factual foundation that search engines and AI can use as a trusted reference, preventing the confusion and misrepresentation that arises when algorithms rely solely on fragmented, third-party information.
How Jason Barnard uses Personal Branding definition
At Kalicube, Personal Branding is the application of The Kalicube Process, Kalicube's proprietary methodology for implementing a holistic, brand-first digital marketing strategy, to an individual. We systematically move a client's brand through three phases: Understandability (establishing a clear factual foundation), Credibility (building trust through corroboration and demonstrating NEEATT), and Deliverability (ensuring the brand narrative is omnipresent and recommended by AI). The primary KPI is the individual's Brand SERP—what Jason Barnard calls their "digital business card." By meticulously engineering a positive and accurate Brand SERP and narrative within AI Assistive Engines, we build trust at scale, directly influencing professional opportunities and driving business objectives.
Why Personal Branding matters to digital marketers
For decades, the concept of Personal Branding has been shaped by Jeff Bezos's famous definition: "Your brand is what other people say about you when you're not in the room." This remains the fundamental truth, but Jason Barnard argues that in the 21st century, the "room" is the internet, and the most influential "people" are algorithms. AI Assistive Engines like ChatGPT, Bing Copilot, and Google AI are now constantly talking about you, forming opinions and making recommendations based on the digital evidence they can find. The critical challenge for any professional today is to bridge the gap between Bezos's philosophical "what" and the technical "how." This is where the methodology developed by Barnard becomes essential. It provides the actionable framework for proactively engineering your digital narrative by establishing a clear Entity Home (your single source of truth), ensuring corroboration across your digital ecosystem, and "educating" the algorithms. This ensures that the story you want to be told is the story the machines understand and repeat, effectively giving you control over what is said in the world's largest "room."
