Biography

Kent Campbell is Managing Director at Reputation X and a digital strategist focused on online reputation management, search visibility, and the way information influences public perception online. He has spent more than two decades working across digital marketing, user experience, content strategy, and online brand development, with a particular emphasis on helping organizations and individuals understand and improve how they are represented in search results and across the web. He is the author of more than 300 articles on Wikipedia editing and online reputation management.

At Reputation X, Campbell leads a global team working across reputation management, corporate reputation marketing, online brand building, technical public relations, review management, web development, and marketing automation integration. His work includes helping organizations improve online visibility through SEO, content strategy, public relations, review management, social media marketing, and negotiation. His experience also includes projects involving defamation solutions, online review improvement, Google Knowledge Panel enhancement, search engine marketing, and Wikipedia editing.

Earlier in his career, Campbell was part of the founding leadership behind one of the companies that merged to form Rare Medium, a NASDAQ-listed digital firm. In that role, he led international user experience teams including information architects, behavior researchers, interface designers, and software developers, and helped build web-based platforms for Fortune 2000 companies.

Before Rare Medium, Campbell founded and led Evit Caretni Interactive, a 30-person web development company with offices in Santa Monica, California and Mumbai, India. That firm developed online shopping systems and digital platforms during the early growth of the commercial web.

Across his career, Campbell has developed expertise in reputation management, corporate reputation marketing, online brand building, technical public relations, review management, SEO, content marketing, social media marketing, Google Knowledge Panel improvement, SEM, and Wikipedia editing. His perspective combines early internet-era product and UX experience with later specialization in search visibility and digital reputation strategy.

Campbell has also contributed to public discussion around online information systems. In 2023, he appeared on the Brookings Institution TechTank podcast, “How Wikipedia works,” where he discussed Wikipedia’s editorial systems, references, talk pages, and historical editing patterns in the context of information quality and online knowledge production.
