Abstract Titel: Sociala medier - En länk mellan producent och konsument Författare: Tero Marjamäki, Henrik Svensson Handledare: Lars Palm Examinator: Lennart Andreasson Utbildningssäte: Högskolan i Halmstad Sektion: Hälsa och Samhälle Kurs: Medie och kommunikationsvetenskap,61-90p Delkurs: C-uppsats, 15p År: 2007 Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka, utforska och analysera sociala medier, dess innebörd och innehåll Metod: Som kunskapsteoretisk utgångspunkt används ett explorativt förhållningssätt, med abduktion som slutledningsprocess. Kvalitativ metod har tillämpats i studien i form av mailintervjuer Slutsatser: Tidigt i arbetet kunde vi uppdaga att det rådde meningsskiljaktigheter vad gällde definitionen och synen på sociala medier. Vissa forskare samt några utav våra respondenter ansåg att sociala medier var någonting fult, nästan förkastligt som inte hör hemma i marknadsföringsvärlden. Medan andra forskare samt ett antal utav våra respondenter ansåg att sociala medier var en länk mellan producent och konsument,2 sociala medier var arenor för samtal. Några ansåg även att sociala medier var en helt naturlig uppkomst då vanlig reklam inte längre påverkar människor i samma utsträckning som tidigare. Traditionell marknadsföring tenderar att bli omodern. Dock menade nästintill samtliga utav våra respondenter samt ett flertal forskare att sociala medier inte kommer att eliminera traditionell marknadsföring såsom vi ser den idag utan snarare kommer de båda att leva i symbios med varandra. Emellertid måste det traditionella bli underordnat och en del av det sociala (och inte tvärtom), och tillsammans kan helheten bli större än de ingående delarna. Vad gäller frågan om dold/öppen kommunikation och marknadsföring inom sociala medier var nästintill alla av den meningen att man bör eftersträva som producent att vara så öppen som möjligt. Endast någon eller några utav våra respondenter menade att det var beviljat att vara dold som producent inom sociala medier. Det centrala som vi uppdagade i denna uppsats var att det finns två olika sätt att se på sociala medier: del kan man se sociala medier som arenor för samtal, och dels kan man se sociala medier som marknadsföringskanaler.

For the last five years, Sweden has seen a quite remarkable milk war between the traditional Arla serving dairy products and the innovative Oatly offering vegan milk substitutes. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate how consumers’ attitudes are affected by firms’ involvement in brand rivalry, where the conflict between Arla and Oatly served as a case. A conceptual model based on previous research was created to shed light on essential elements that affect consumers’ attitudes. Empirical data was collected through a qualitative content analysis as well as two focus group interviews. Findings resulted in three main insights concerning consumers’ attitudes. Firstly, consumers’ attitudes depend on how the brands decide to leverage and influence consumers’ emotions, where humorous content can smooth over smear campaigns. Secondly, consumers’ attitudes are influenced by their degree of knowledge regarding the conflict, where knowledgeable consumers are often more critical to the content communicated in advertisements. Lastly, consumers’ attitudes are negatively affected if a brand’s core values do not cohere with its engagement in rivalry. This dissertation has contributed to additional insights into brand rivalry initiatives from a consumer perspective. Brands should consider a public conflict more carefully to avoid negative attitudes among consumers.

The value of fashion week’s physical presence has been questioned in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic, when fashion week became fully digital. Once the pandemic subsided, the digital attributes were retained and combined with the physical space, resulting in a phygital fashion week. This new phenomenon, the contemporary fashion week that combines on-site and online activities, has therefore received little academic research. There is a lack of academic knowledge about how the post-pandemic setting of fashion week affects the physical value. The purpose of this study is to analyze how the post-pandemic setting of fashion week has affected the value of physical presence in regards to marketing communication through the lens of Copenhagen Fashion Week (CPHFW). By conducting a case study of CPHFW, the goal is to bridge the gap by providing new research within the field of fashion marketing. A qualitative research approach was used to provide an in-depth perspective of CPHFW. The chosen data collection techniques were a combination of ethnographic and netnographic methods. The ethnographic methods were conducted on-site, physically at the AW 23 season of CPHFW, while the netnographic methods analyzed activities online, thus communication through social media platforms as well as press coverage. The results of this study indicate that there is a strong interdependence between the digital and physical fashion week, where the digital do not have an obvious position of power because it is dependent on the physical presence. Fashion week has evolved into a phenomenon conducted physically, with the aim of reaching a digital audience through the creation of spectacular on-site moments being shared online. This points to a complex power relationship between the two. Therefore, the value of physical presence remains strong in a post-pandemic setting of fashion week in regards to marketing communication. In terms of Copenhagen, the emerging fashion capital, the translation of the physical presence to the digital realm becomes even more important as it promotes its fashion week to a global audience. It enables CPHFW to communicate elements of differentiation digitally, thus strengthening the attractiveness of the physical presence.
