The purpose of the study is to investigate the respondents’ consumption habits, experiences and opinions linked to NA-KD’s content on Instagram, to see which of the four communication models within PR (Grunig & Hunt 1984) that are reflected in their experiences, opinions and consumption. Method: The study is based on a quantitative web survey, which was answered by Swedish women, aged 16-35, who follows @nakdfashion on Instagram. They answered questions about their consumption of the content as well as their experiences and opinions on how NA-KD communicates with their followers. Result / analysis: The majority of respondents are "passive" consumers in the interaction with NA-KD on Instagram. The main reasons why they consume NA-KD's content are to get offers, coupons and to get inspiration. While their experiences reflects Grunig & Hunt’s asymmetric communication model, their opinions show more of the symmetric model. Conclusion: The respondents' experiences and opinions about how the communication takes place / should take place do not match. The result indicates an existing imbalance in power between transmitter and receiver in the communication process. In practice, the respondents do not seem to mind it as long as NA-KD meets their needs, which are mainly inspiration and offers.
