Research in the area of artificial intelligence (AI) in marketing mainly consists of increasing value for retailers or ethical issues related to consumers, in contrast, academic research regarding consumers perception of AI in marketing is vague at best. This research explores the perception of machine-generated advertising campaigns and how these campaigns are experienced by consumers. This research aims to explore the uncharted phenomenon of consumer perception related to receiving and evaluating advertisements through short message services and emails. An exploratory research question was used and formulated as: What are the perceptions of machine-generated advertisements among consumers. In order to answer the research question, two sub-questions were used as follows; what themes constitute the consumers’ perception of machine-generated advertisements and what is the consumers’ discernment ability of machine-generated advertisements. Using a mixed-method approach, this research gathered data conducting interviews that resulted in themes describing consumers' perception and an online questionnaire that was used in a univariate analysis, showing the consumer's discernment ability. Additionally, z-tests were conducted to increase the coverage of the discernment ability between different sample groups. The study concludes a descriptive theory for consumer perception of intelligent marketing campaigns and shows that consumers have a low distinguishing ability between machine and human made advertisements. This research concludes that further research is needed as the result of this study merely scratches the surface of a complex phenomenon. The results can however, be used as a springboard for further research on the topic as more comprehensive understanding is still achievable. / Forskning om AI i marknadsföring består huvudsakligen av att öka värdet för återförsäljare eller etiska frågor relaterade till konsumenter, däremot är akademisk forskning om konsumenternas uppfattning om AI i marknadsföring i bästa fall vag. I denna uppsats utforskas uppfattningen om maskin genererade reklamkampanjer och hur konsumenterna upplever dessa kampanjer. Denna forskning syftar till att börja utforska det okända fenomenet konsument uppfattning relaterat till att ta emot och utvärdera annonser genom sms-tjänster och e-postmeddelanden. En utforskande forskningsfråga användes och formulerades enligt följande; Vilka uppfattningar har konsumenter om maskin-genererade reklamkampanjer. För att besvara forskningsfrågan användes två delfrågor enligt följande; vilka teman bygger upp konsumentens uppfattning av maskin genererade reklamkampanjer och vilken särskiljningsförmåga har konsumenter mot maskin genererade reklamkampanjer. Med hjälp av en mixad metod samlade denna forskning in data genom intervjuer som resulterade i teman som beskriver konsumenternas uppfattning och en enkät som underlag för en univariat analys som visar konsumentens urskiljningsförmåga. Ytterligare genomfördes z-tester för att belysa täckningen av särskiljningsförmågan mellan olika provgrupper. Studien avslutas med en beskrivande teori för konsumenternas uppfattning om intelligenta marknadsföringskampanjer och visar att konsumenterna har låg urskiljningsförmåga mellan maskin och mänskligt skapade annonser. Denna forskning drar slutsatsen att ytterligare forskning behövs eftersom resultatet av denna studie bara skrapar på ytan av ett komplext fenomen. Resultaten kan användas som en språngbräda för vidare forskning om ämnet eftersom mer omfattande förståelse fortfarande kan uppnås.

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att öka kunskapsområdet och förståelsen kring företagens användning av sökmotoroptimering och sökmotormarknadsföring, avseende integrering med andra digitala marknadsföringskanaler. Teoretisk referensram: De teorier som använts i denna studie är Push/Pull, The 4S Web Marketing Mix Model, Integrated Marketing Communication Mix och Digital Marketing Channel Decision Model. Metod: Denna studie utgår ifrån en kvalitativ forskningsstrategi där det empiriska underlaget har samlats in genom sju semistrukturerade telefonintervjuer. Slutsatser: Syftet med att använda sökmotorer är främst för att få synlighet och nå målgruppen. Sökmotormarknadsföring används i större utsträckning för att synas när de är hög konkurrens medan sökmotoroptimering används för att förse kunder med relevant information. Studiens slutsats visar att det krävs att det utvecklas en marknadsföringsmodell som utgår ifrån att kunder idag kontrollerar köpprocessen gällande hur företag ska förse kunder med information. Huruvida sökmotormarknadsföring integreras beror på företagens mål samt hur de integrerar digitala byråer i sin verksamhet. Företag med konkreta mål kan lättare anpassa strategi i sökmotorer efter andra digitala kanaler. Företag som anlitar byråer bör integrera byråerna i den digitala strategin för att anpassa strategi i sökmotorer efter andra digitala kanaler. / Purpose: The purpose of this research is to increase the area of knowledge and understanding of companies use of search engine optimization and search engine marketing, regarding integration with other digital marketing channels. Theoretical frame of reference: The theories used in this study are Push/Pull, The 4S web Marketing Mix Model, Integrated Marketing Communication Mix and Digital Marketing Channel Decision Model. Method: This study is based on a qualitative research strategy where the empirical data has been collected through seven semi-structured telephone interviews. Conclusions: The purpose of using search engines is primarily to gain visibility and reach the target audience. Search engine marketing is used to a greater extent to be seen when there is high competition while search engine optimization is used to provide customers with relevant information. The study's conclusion shows that it is necessary to develop a marketing model that is based on customers controlling the purchasing process regarding how companies should provide customers with information. Whether search engine marketing is integrated depends on the companies' goals and how they integrate digital agencies into their operations. Companies with concrete goals can adapt strategy in search engines with other digital channels. Companies that hire agencies should integrate the agencies into the digital strategy in order to adapt the strategy in search engines with other digital channels.

To travel in the footsteps of movies and books is something that attracts more and more tourists and the research in the field has often focused on the motivation of tourists when choosing a destination. This study instead focuses on how the businesses that organize the attractions work. The purpose of this essay is to investigate how some operators in tourism in Stockholm and Ystad work to attract tourists to the Wallander and Millennium walks with a focus on the formation of the tours and digital marketing. The method used is qualitative. Three interviews are conducted with informants from Stadsmuseet, Ystad Studios Visitor Center and Stockholm Business Region. In addition to the interviews digital marketing is analyzed in the form of websites and social media. The results of the study show that there are not that many products linked to Wallander and Millennium, besides the tours, and no new ones are developed since no new books are being published. The digital marketing has reduced during the last few years, especially for Millennium, because of the interest decreasing. But these city tours attract tourists to the destinations since they are travel reasons and they contribute to an increased knowledge and an attractive image of the place. / Att resa i filmers och böckers fotspår är något som lockar allt fler turister och forskning inom området har ofta fokuserat på turisternas motivation vid valet av destination. Denna studie fokuserar istället på hur verksamheterna som arrangerar attraktionerna arbetar. Syftet för denna studie är att undersöka hur några aktörer inom turism i Stockholm och Ystad arbetar med att locka turister till Wallander- och Millenniumvandringarna med fokus på utformning av rundturerna och digital marknadsföring. Metoden som används är kvalitativ. Tre intervjuer genomförs med informanter från Stadsmuseet, Ystad Studios Visitor Center och Stockholm Business Region. Utöver intervjuerna analyseras även digital marknadsföring i form av hemsidor och sociala medier. Resultatet av undersökningen visar att det inte finns så många produkter med koppling till Wallander och Millennium, förutom stadsvandringarna, och det utvecklas inte några nya eftersom det inte publiceras nya böcker. Den digitala marknadsföringen har minskat de senaste åren, speciellt för Millennium, på grund av att intresset har sjunkit. Men dessa stadsvandringar lockar turister till destinationerna eftersom de är reseanledningar och de bidrar till en ökad kännedom och en attraktiv bild av platsen.
