Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att skapa förståelse för de idéer, föreställningar och normer som format underlaget för vår empiriska undersökning. Vår ambition ämnar beskriva reklammakarnas syn på reklam idag och vilka val som påverkat kampanjernas utformande. Syftet ska besvaras med hjälp av frågeställningen, vilka strategiska val ligger bakom skapandet av reklam i vårt konvergerande mediesamhälle? Metod/Material: Vår uppsats är baserad på en kvalitativ forskningsmetod där empirin, som utgörs av personliga intervjuer, står i fokus. Studien speglas av tre teman, vilka reflekterar vår frågeställning om vilka strategiska val som ligger bakom skapandet av reklam. Våra respondenter representerar två sidor, dels nyckelpersoner som varit i involverade från de uppdragsgivande företagen eller organisationerna, dels av personer som på något sätt är aktiva inom reklambranschen för att få en så opartisk betraktelse som möjligt. Resultat: Vår empiri påvisar starka tendenser till att de aktiva medieanvändarna/skaparna också speglar företagens strategier och slutligen deras reklam. Ur ett deltagarperspektiv finner vi en återspegling av konsumenternas intressen. Med det menar vi att reklam som fordrar viral spridning måste innehålla något spännande eller intressant för att få effekt. / Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to create an understanding of the ideas, beliefs and norms that shapes today’s advertising. Our ambition intends to describe the trends within parts of the advertising industry today and what has influenced the advertisers in the making of our chosen advertising campaigns. What strategic decisions lie behind the creation of advertising in our convergent media society? Method/Material: Our thesis is based on a qualitative research method where our empirical data is based on personal interviews. The study reflected three themes, which replicate our question about the strategic choices that underlie the creation of advertising. Our respondents represent two sides, first the individuals who have been involved from the funding companies or organizations. The other side is represented by people who somehow are active in the advertising industry to help us get an objective reflection. Main results: The study indicates that active media users and creators reflect the corporate strategies and advertising. The interest of the consumers are reflected in the participant perspective. Commercials that require viral spread must include exciting content to become viral.

Syfte: Studiens syfte är att granska hur en organisation kan ändra attityden hos åhörare genom effektiv marknadskommunikation. Metod: Studien har en kvalitativ forskningsstrategi i form av en fallstudie med en induktiv forskningsansats. Intervjuer, enkäter och deltagande observationer användes som metod i undersökningen. Enkäterna besvarades av 107 personer och intervjuerna utfördes med fyra anställda på LO-distriktet i Stockholms län som bestod av ett subjektivt urval. De anställda som intervjuades valdes p.g.a. att de arbetar aktivt med marknadskommunikation för LO-regionen i Stockholm. Empirin under observationer samlades in vid två tillfällen. De deltagande observationerna utfördes i samband med enkätundersökningen. Slutsatser: Effektiv marknadskommunikation påverkar attityden hos åhörare genom skolpresentationer. Det finns tre komponenter som utgör en åhörares attityd. Kognitiva- och emotionella komponenter har större påverkan på åhörarnas attityd än handlingskomponenter. Åhörarna är för unga för att aktivt komma ut på arbetsmarknaden, vilket gör att de inte känner att de måste bli organisatoriskt engagerade eller gå med i facket nu, utan väntar nog till när de är beredda för att komma ut på arbetsmarknaden. Däremot så påverkas åhörarnas attityd positivt till LO-regionen i Stockholms län genom att de känner att informationen som de har mottagit har gått fram till dem. Den informationen som kommuniceras har en positiv anknytning till facket och LO, vilket leder till att åhöraren får en positiv anknytning till organisationen. De känner även en trygghet och en känslomässig koppling till organisationen efter presentationen. / Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine how an organization can change the attitude from an audience towards an organization through effective marketing communication. Method: The study has a qualitative research strategy in the shape of a case study with an inductive research approach. Interviews, surveys and observations were used as methods for the research. A subjective selection was made in the process of choosing respondents and employees. The empirical evidence from the presentations was collected during two different occasions. Conclusions: Effective marketing communication affects the audience attitude through school presentations. There is three components that is forming an audiance’s attitude. Cognitive- and emotional components have a greater effect on the audience´s attitude than conative components. The audience is too young to start working yet, which means that they are too young to start getting organizationally involved. They will probably wait until they are ready to start working. However, the audience is being positively affected towards the LO-region in Stockholm because the information that has been communicated has reached them. The information that are being communicated have a positive connection towards LO and the labor union, which leads to that the audience gets a positive connection to the organization. They also feel a security and an emotional connection to the organization after the presentation.

Title Instagram marketing- When brands want to reach Generation Y with their communication  Authors Frida Eklöf Wallsbeck and Ulrika Johansson Supervisor Thomas Helgesson Level Bachelor thesis in marketing (15 ECTS). Spring 2014 Keywords Branding, Marketing communication, Social media, Instagram and Generation Y. Purpose The purpose of this study is to find out how marketing on Instagram works in order to reach Generation Y. Further the purpose is to contribute with theoretical knowledge about what communication Generation Y prefers from brands on Instagram, why they prefer it and what it can lead to. Frame of Reference In this chapter we divided the theories under branding, marketing communication, social media, Instagram and Generation Y. Under every chapter the chosen subject will be discussed further and deeper.  Method This study is written with a descriptive and an explanatory method with a deductive approach. We have used the triangulation method combining qualitative and quantitative data. Empirical Data The outcome from the qualitative interviews and the quantitative survey will be presented under this chapter together with the SPSS analysis. Conclusion Generation Y on Instagram is a generation who is used to a high amount of marketing noise and because of that and their desire to be unique they demand extraordinary branding on Instagram. When marketing towards Generation Y brands must first form the content after the Instagram value. The content should also be creative and selective as well as it should contribute with knowledge. Further brands should communicate personal content with focus on one-way communication. By doing this, brands could expect a chance of lower barriers, increased solidarity and becoming a part of the Generation Y’s everyday life.

Bakgrund: Podcasten är ett färskt tillskott till nuvarande marknadsföringsmedier och har påkort tid visat stor potential inom marknadsföringskommunikation. Den lågaproduktionskostnaden och enkelheten attraherar annonsörer som vill skapa riktad reklam tillsina kunder. De flesta marknadsförare är överens om att det bästa sättet att göra reklam i enpodcast är genom sponsring. Hur konsumenter uppfattar denna typ av reklam är dock oklartdå tidigare studier har adresserat mer traditionella medium. Syfte: Vi vill skapa en förståelse för hur konsumenter uppfattar sponsormeddelanden i enpodcast samt vilket presentationssätt de tycker är bäst. Genomförande: För att uppnå syftet med studien har en kvalitativ undersökning genomförts.Vi har valt att intervjua åtta personer i åldrarna 21-29 år som finns i våra bekantkretsar. Dehar alla lyssnat på en podcast vid mer än ett tillfälle och några är regelbundna lyssnare. Resultat: Vår undersökning visar blandade känslor angående attityd till reklam i podcasts. De två viktigaste komponenterna har visats vara sättet sponsormeddelandet presenteras påoch lyssnarens relation till talaren. Respondenterna är överens om att den typ av sponsringsom inte uppfattas som reklam och skiljer sig mest från traditionell reklam är bäst. De menarockså att deras intresse för talaren har stor påverkan på hur trovärdig och intressant reklamenär. Majoriteten av våra respondenter påpekar att de ogillar reklam, men att reklamen i podcastär att föredra framför reklam i andra medium. En intressant upptäckt med undersökningen äratt sponsormeddelanden som anses vara störande fastnar bäst på minnet. / Background: The podcast is a recent addition to existing marketing mediums and has showngreat potential in the area of marketing communications. Its low production cost andsimplicity attracts advertisers who wish to create targeted advertising for their customers.Most marketers agree that sponsoring is the best way to distribute advertising trough apodcast. How consumers perceive this kind of advertising is not well-known since formerstudies have focused more traditional mediums. Purpose: We wish to create an understanding of customer perception concerning advertisingin podcasts and what they believe is the best way to present a sponsor message. Implementation: To fulfil our purpose we have chosen to use a qualitative approach. We have decided to interview eight people aged 21-29 from our known circuits. They have alllisten to a podcast more than once and some are regular listeners. Result: Our survey shows mixed feelings concerning the attitude towards advertising inpodcasts. The two most important components have shown to be the way the message ispresented and the listeners´ relation to the speaker. The respondents agree that the kind ofsponsoring they prefer is the one they don’t perceive as advertising and differs most fromtraditional advertising. They also mean that their interest for the speaker has great effect onthe levels of credibility and interest of the advert. The majority of our respondents say theydon’t like advertising, but that the advertising in podcasts is preferable compared toadvertising in other mediums. An interesting discovery with our survey is the fact thatsponsor messages that are perceived as annoying are most memorable

AFRIKAANS: Afrikaans, as een van 11 amptelike landstale, bevind homself in ’n unieke posisie as ’n belangrike bemarkingskommunikasietaal. Die assosiasie tussen Afrikaans en die apartheidsregering het die beeld van Afrikaans, oor jare, groot skade berokken. Afrikaanssprekendes is egter vir baie jare reeds die taalgroep met die grootste besteebare inkomste en ʼn teikengroep wat maklik bereikbaar is. Tog word Afrikaans dikwels nie ernstig deur die reklame-industrie opgeneem nie. Weinig is egter bekend oor wat Afrikaanssprekende verbruikers se houding teenoor bemarkingskommunikasie in Afrikaans is, of hulle dit hoegenaamd verkies en of hulle bereid is om daarvoor te vra. Die primêre navorsingsdoel van die studie was om stedelike Afrikaanssprekende verbruikers se houding, voorkeur en selfgelding ten opsigte van Afrikaanse bemarkingskommunikasie te bepaal en verder te ondersoek. Primêre data is met behulp van rekenaargesteunde telefoononderhoude ingesamel. Die teikenpopulasie was stedelike Afrikaanssprekende verbruikers in Suid-Afrika van 19 jaar en ouer. ’n Verteenwoordigende steekproef van 306 voltooide onderhoude is op ’n nie-ewekansige wyse met behulp van ʼn kwotasteekproef verkry. Die studie het bevind dat stedelike Afrikaanssprekende verbruikers ’n positiewe houding ten opsigte van Afrikaanse bemarkingskommunikasie het; dat hulle tot ’n baie groot mate ’n voorkeur vir Afrikaanse bemarkingskommunikasie bo Engelse bemarkingskommunikasie het, maar dat hulle tot ’n mindere mate bereid is om waarskynlik selfgeldend ten opsigte van Afrikaanse bemarkings-kommunikasie op te tree. Die resultate dui ook aan dat daar, met die uitsondering van verskillende ouderdomsgroepe, verskeie beduidende verskille in stedelike Afrikaanssprekende verbruikers se houding, voorkeur en selfgelding ten opsigte van Afrikaanse bemarkingskommunikasie voorkom, wat betref: demografiese profiel (inkomste, ras en geslag); Engelse taalvaardigheid; taalgroepidentiteit; die bemarkingskommunikasiemedium (kontakpersoneel, tasbare kommunikasie, reklame en verpakking); produkbetrokkenheid (ooreenkomstig die FCB-matriks); en produkte se posisie op die goedere-dienstekontinuum (suiwer diens, goedere-dienstekruising en suiwer produk). Onder meer toon die resultate dat vroulike respondente ’n positiewer houding het, ’n groter voorkeur het en meer waarskynlik selfgeldend sal optree ten opsigte van Afrikaanse bemarkingskommunikasie as manlike respondente. Die resultate toon ook dat, waar dienste en kontakpersoneel ter sprake is, stedelike Afrikaanssprekende verbruikers by uitstek Afrikaanse bemarkingskommunikasie verkies. Aspekte soos hierdie behoort in ag geneem te word wanneer ’n bemarkingskommunikasieplan, wat hierdie teikengroep insluit, ontwikkel word. Bemarkers en maatskappye wat daarin belangstel om met stedelike Afrikaanssprekende verbruikers ’n verhouding te bou, behoort ongetwyfeld die moeite te doen om met hierdie teikengroep in Afrikaans te kommunikeer. ENGLISH: Afrikaans, as one of the country’s 11 official languages, finds itself in a unique position as an important marketing communication language. The association between Afrikaans and the apartheid government, over years caused much damage to the image of Afrikaans. Afrikaans speakers, however, have for many years been the language group with the largest disposable income and are a target group that is easily reached. In spite of this, Afrikaans is frequently not being taken seriously by the advertising industry. Little is however known about the attitude of Afrikaans-speaking consumers towards marketing communication in Afrikaans, whether it is at all preferred by them and if they are prepared to ask for it. The primary research goal of the study was to determine and further investigate the attitude, preference and assertiveness of urban Afrikaans-speaking consumers in terms of Afrikaans marketing communication. Primary data was collected by means of computer-assisted telephone interviews. The target population was urban Afrikaans-speaking consumers in South Africa aged 19 years and older. A representative test sample of 306 completed interviews was obtained by means of a nonprobability quota sample. The study found that urban Afrikaans-speaking consumers have a positive attitude towards Afrikaans marketing communication; that they, to a very large extent, prefer Afrikaans marketing communication to English marketing communication, but that they are to a lesser extent prepared to likely act assertively with regards to Afrikaans marketing communication. The results further show that, with the exception of different age groups, various significant differences exist in urban Afrikaans-speaking consumers’ attitudes, preferences and assertiveness with regards to Afrikaans marketing communication concerning: demographic profile (income, race and gender); English language proficiency; language group identity; the marketing communication medium (contact personnel, tangible communication, advertising and packaging); product involvement (according to the FCB grid); and products’ position on the goods-services continuum (pure service, goods-services hybrid; pure tangible goods). Amongst other things, the results show that female respondents have a more positive attitude, a greater preference and are more likely to act assertively with regards to Afrikaans marketing communication than male respondents. The results also show that, especially where services and contact personnel are concerned, urban Afrikaans-speaking consumers prefer Afrikaans marketing communication. Aspects like these should be taken into consideration when a marketing communication plan, which includes this target group, is developed. Marketers and companies, who are interested in building a long-term relationship with urban Afrikaans-speaking consumers, should undoubtedly make the effort to communicate with this target group in Afrikaans. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2009. / Communication Management / PhD / Unrestricted
