Full textSammanfattning På grund av den ökade medieintensiteteten blir det svårare för företag att fånga människors uppmärksamhet, det uppstår en risk att budskapet passerar dess tilltänkta målgrupp. Sociala medier har skapat nya möjligheter för företag att kunna profilera sitt budskap och nå ut till specifika målgrupper. Inom alla grupper i samhället finns vissa typer av personer som har en förmåga att påverka andra människor, inom samma grupp. Dessa personer har fått ökad betydelse på sociala medier och benämns inom tidigare forskning med flera olika namn. I denna studie kommer de benämnas social media influencers, SMIs. Genom samarbeten med SMIs kan företag marknadsföra sin organisation eller sitt varumärke. Under denna process har uppsatsförfattarna funnit flera tidigare studier som har fokuserat på hur företag kan identifiera de rätta personerna att samarbeta med samt vad som utmärker dessa personer. Samtidigt har uppsatsförfattarna upplevt att mindre forskning tillägnats åt att studera fenomenet ur konsumenternas perspektiv. Därför ämnar denna studie att bidra till forskningen på detta område. Syftet med denna studie är att få en inblick i konsumenters attityder gentemot social media influencers samt hur konsumenter värderar och uppfattar företagssponsrade inlägg från dessa. Undersökningen har genomförts med en kvalitativ ansats bestående av femton personliga intervjuer med konsumenter som använder sociala medier samt följer någon eller några SMIs inom dessa. Empirin har därefter analyserats utifrån det teoretiska ramverket, vilket huvudsakligen består av teorier och tidigare studier inom marknadskommunikation, bland annat buzz-marknadsföring, sponsring, produktplacering och dold marknadsföring. Slutsatsen i denna studie är att ingen av respondenterna i studien hade en positiv attityd gentemot företagssponsrade inlägg. Respondenterna känner mer förtroende för SMIs som är äkta, har humor och kan bjuda på sig själva. Respondenterna har även större förtroende för information från andra konsumenter än från företag. Vetskapen om att SMIs får finansiell kompensation för att publicera företagssponsrade inlägg gör att trovärdigheten för dem minskar. Nyckelord: SMI, sociala medier, influencer, företagssponsrade inlägg, förtroende, trovärdighet, attityder

Full textIn line with the increased importance of symbolic consumption the notion of Social Media Influencers, SMI, has been found. SMI is a concept used to describe independent people who both influence and inspire other people on their social media channels by being a role model in fashion, beauty, lifestyle, health and interior design. SMI represents today’s opinion leaders by using their social media channels to spread advertising and marketing to people who perceive the information as sincere and genuine. Today SMI are used in companies business strategies to reach out to customers in a individualized and faithful manner. This new kind of marketing strategy can be seen as a modern version of Word of Mouth (WOM). The purpose by using this kind of marketing is that the information that comes from an SMI are often perceived more as recommendations than advertising. SMI’s got a significant role on the market today and it’s more important than ever before to show what social group you belong to. Especially for young womens, who finds it important to fit in and follow the last trends. Instagram is one of the social media platforms which is the most detrimental for young people’s mental health. It contributes to an unhealthy self-image and creates high demands on people's life. At the same time as SMI is rapidly growing, consumers gets tired of being constantly chased by advertising. Therefore people are now questioning SMI as a phenomenon. 329 women in Sweden have participated in a web survey about their approach to SMI at Instagram. It’s shown that many women find it hard to form a concrete perception of their attitude towards the phenomenon and many women varies in their positions. The survey shows that older women and women with higher education are critical towards what SMI’s are posting on Instagram, while women with lower education and in younger generations consider SMI's marketing to be sincere and honest. The survey also shows that despite the fact that many women got a negative attitude towards SMI, they’re still keen on buying whatever that SMI recommends them to buy.

Full textBackground: The consumers trust in traditional marketing communications is decreasing. Therefore, companies try to find new ways to reach the consumers. A marketing communication that has blossomed as a result of this is Influencer Marketing, which means that influential individual influence people on social media. However, Influencer Marketing is still a gray zone and research within the field is limited. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to, by researching the consumers, gain a deeper understanding for how their buying process is affected by Influencer Marketing by identifying and understanding the factors that affect their attitudes and behaviors as a result of the marketing communication. Completion: The study has been conducted by a triangulation method, which has involved data collecting through a quantitative survey and ten qualitative interviews. In order to map and analyze the consumers buying behavior in relation to Influencer Marketing, questions were asked in regard to the purpose of the study. Conclusion: The study displays that mainly the personal factors, psychological factors and social factors affect the consumers’ perception of influencers and hence of Influencer Marketing. The study shows that the consumers with a positive perception of influencers, value and appropriate content via Influencer Marketing to a larger extent, which in return shortens their buying process. Furthermore, the study shows that the case is the opposite for the consumers with a negative perception of influencers. The study also displays that the buying process is an iterative process instead of a static order.

Full textFollowers of social media influencers has been shown be strongly affected by the information that influencers pass out and mediate through their channels. To this date though, no studies have examined the flying habits of influencers and how they can affect and reflect on the flying habits of their followers. This study therefore intended to examine whether the flying habits of followers of influencers can be affected by the lifestyle that influencers mediate. To answer to the aim of the study the following three issues were raised: Do followers of social media influencers feel that their flying habits are affected by the lifestyle that influencers mediate through their posts? Do followers feel that they get inspired by influencers’ travels and travel related posts? Do followers deliberately use influencers as a source for travel inspiration? Based on these issues a survey was created and later posted in nine different groups on Facebook. The result of the survey showed that close to 40% of the followers to some or to a high degree feel inspired by the lifestyle and travels of influencers. A large number of followers also experience that inspiration from influencers to some degree impact on their choice of destination, while a smaller number deliberately turn to influencers in search for travel inspiration. It also emerged that the majority of the followers feel that the flying habits and lifestyle of influencers in varying degree induce them to fly more. To summarize, the study shows that followers feel that the lifestyle and flying habits of influencers to some degree affect their own flying habits.

Full textAuthors: Hero Eliassi & Emma Jändel Supervisor: Åsa Lindström Examiner: Bertil Hultén Course: Master Thesis in Marketing 30 ECTS, Business Administration and Economics Programme, Linnaeus University Kalmar, Spring 2016. Research question: How does different actors view the usage of influencers’ social media channels in digital marketing? Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the usage of influencers and their social media channels in digital marketing. The phenomenon will be studied from the perspective of four different actors; influencer marketing-agencies, companies, influencers and consumers, to be able to examine how to combine the different actors’ views in order to make influencer marketing more effective. We aim to interpret the different actors’ views of influencer marketing to be able to provide implications to companies using or thinking about using influencer marketing and to influencer marketing-agencies that act as intermediaries between companies and influencers. We also aim to provide influencers with implications. Method: This thesis had a qualitatively oriented case study with an inductive approach and an explorative purpose. Data formation consisted of a literature review and an empirical study through semi-structured interviews and focus groups. The empirical data obtained was analyzed through a qualitative data analysis. Results and conclusions: We can conclude that the four actors view influencer marketing as an effective marketing method which is preferred over companies' own marketing. A number of requirements should be taken into consideration when producing influencer marketing-campaigns in order for the messages to reach out to the intended audience. For the messages to be received by the consumers as credible matching must occur between brands and influencers, the cooperation should be genuine and inspiring, the messages should fit into the context in which they are presented and balance should be found between personality and professionalism. Theoretical and practical implications: The theoretical implications of the thesis consists of a revised research model with key stakeholders and relevant social media channels for influencer marketing. The practical implications are made up of a TRIMPP-model in which the concepts of trustworthiness, relevance, inspiration, matching, personality and professionalism are presented as important in the creation of influencer marketing- campaigns. Key words: Influencer marketing, influencers, social media, digital marketing

Full textEn esta tesis, me he propuesto investigar la relación entre los llamados influencers en redes sociales y la identidad de la juventud egipcia en la red. Egipto es el contexto de este estudio: un país de carácter tradicional, patriarcal y profundamente religioso. De sus jóvenes se espera que traigan un cambio a la sociedad, pero, al mismo tiempo, se enfrentan a múltiples desafíos cotidianos y a dificultades en el ámbito de la identidad. En este estudio se examina cómo, en un país en desarrollo de cultura no occidental, los procesos de construcción identitaria de los influencers en redes sociales y de sus seguidores y seguidoras se interconectan a través de sus autopresentaciones e interacciones en línea. Se recurre para ello a una metodología cualitativa de entrevistas en profundidad con nueve influencers y dieciocho de sus seguidores y seguidoras. Las entrevistas han generado una gran cantidad de información, nuevas percepciones y perspectivas tanto de los primeros como de los segundos. Se han hallado así muestras evidentes de que los influencers en redes sociales tienen un papel indirecto en la construcción de la identidad digital de los jóvenes al inspirar a sus seguidores y seguidoras para que estos cambien sus actitudes y comportamientos, lo que acaba reflejándose en su identidad en la red y en su forma de autopresentarse en línea.
This thesis seeks to investigate the relationship between social media influencers and the online identity of Egyptian youth. The context of this study is Egypt, a country of traditional, patriarchal and keenly religious nature. Its youth, while being expected to bring about change in the society, face many challenges on a day-to-day level and struggle with their identity. The study explores the way in which social media influencers’ and fans’ processes of identity construction are connected through their online performances and interactions in a non-Western developing culture. The study employs a qualitative methodology through in-depth interviews with nine influencers and eighteen of their fans. The interviews generate a wealth of information, insights and perspectives from both parties. The study found that there is evidence that social media influencers play an indirect role in the construction of the online identity of youth through inspiring their fans to change their attitudes and behaviours which ultimately reflects on their online identity and self-presentation.

Full textAim: The purpose of the study is to analyze consumers trust in brands when companies use influencers in their social media marketing. The study is based on a customer perspective. Method: The study was based on a quantitative method where the empirical data were collected through a web-based survey. A total of 101 responses were collected, and 95 of them were representative. In SPSS, the data was processed and then analyzed by using descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and regression analysis. The result was in turned used to conduct a discussion that led to the study's conclusion. Results and conclusion: The results indicate that influencers on Instagram have an impact on customer trust. Customers appreciate recommendations from influencers, which positively affects their buying behavior. Influencers also has a positive effect in companies´ honesty to customers. The results show that the marketing message should be informative and inspiring to increase the brands trust. Strategic use of influencer marketing would thus contribute to customers' trust. Contribution of the thesis: The theoretical contribution is about the customer perspective being studied in influencer marketing and trust. Previous research is both strengthened and confirmed. The practical contribution is to increase companies understanding of the application of influencer marketing in their marketing strategy. In this way, marketing can be more powerful with the possibility of improving customers' trust in the brand. Suggestions for further research: Further research may study further aspects of customers' trust in the brand. In order to achieve a deeper understanding of how trust works in relation to customers and brands, factors such as communication and customer recommendations could be studied. Further research may also study a different platform than Instagram and a more extensive sample.

Full textDuring 2016 the marketing strategy influencer marketing, to let influential people share branding messages online in the shape of sponsored content, gained in popularity. This thesis intends to increase the understanding regarding how collaborations between Influencers and companies are constructed on the media platform Instagram. The study aims to examine how Influencers construct their sponsored posts and through that process give an insight into how Influencer marketing is used in Sweden today. Our ambition is to contribute with knowledge within the field marketing communication which companies will be able to use in future collaborations. In this qualitative content analysis we are examining sponsored posts from eight different Influencers within four areas of interest: fashion, health, beauty and lifestyle. A strategic selection is used when choosing the Influencers and the Instagram posts. Each post is analysed by the means of an analytic scheme, which is based on theory and previous research within the field. The analytic scheme contains four different themes: visual communication, written communication, laws and branding. All of the themes are designed with the purpose of answering the formulated questions of the study and its overall object. The theoretical framework is based on branding, influencer marketing, user- and producer generated content as well as visual communication. The results of the study shows that the way companies and Influencers design their collaborations on Instagram vary, especially in regards to the different areas of interest. The collaborations with Influencers within the areas fashion and health tend to have a professional style that shows of an idealized view on reality. Influencers within the area lifestyle instead choose to focus on true to life images that create intimacy between them and their followers. Based on the study a few deficiency problems that exist in the way influencer marketing is being used today have been establish, for example call to purchase and that companies get to involved in the construction of the posts. The study shows that the key to successful influencer marketing is to be transparent with the collaboration and to let an Influencer, whose interest and tone of voice match up with the brand, convey a genuine and personalized message regarding it.

Full textFler och fler företag har börjat att använda sig av influencers på sociala medieplattformar för att lyfta fram deras produkt eller tjänst i utbyte för kompensation, kallat influencer marketing. Medan det här har möjliggjort räckvidd för en låg kostnad, är det naturen av den autentiska ”omfamningen” av varumärket som gjort marknadsföringskanalen effektiv. Den här uppsatsen söker att förklara hur olika samarbetstyper, beroende på antalet följare som influencern har samt längden på samarbetet, påverkar det finansiella resultatet av influencersamarbeten på Instagram. Därtill, så undersökes vilka underliggande faktorer som ytterligare kan påverka utgången av de olika samarbetstyperna. Fallstudien genomfördes med en blandad metodologi, baserat på både kvantitativ och kvalitativ data. I ett försök att kunna förstå det finansiella resultatet av influencersamarbeten, används data från tre påföljande år som presenteras och analyseras. För att förstå vilka attribut som påverkar utfallet av det finansiella resultatet, intervjuas marknadsförare för deras professionella insikt. Upptäckterna visade att långsiktiga samarbeten med influencers har en högre avkastning jämfört med korta, tillsammans med andra fördelar med lånsiktiga samarbeten. Utöver det upptäcktes det att influencers med fler följare tenderar att ha en lägre avkastning men kan vara användbara på andra sätt, exempelvis för att främja varumärket. Till sist, så beskrivs bidrag för både forskning och praktik baserat på uppsatsens upptäckter.

Full textThe term influencer is becoming more and more known for each day. The term aims at a profession that has emerged in line with the internet. Although there is much information available about the phenomenon, there are many aspects that have not yet been illuminated. The information available on the subject is also not of scientific sort. The purpose of the study is to analyze and explain how influencer marketing can affect the growth of a company. In addition, influencers affect the brand building. Following thesis will consist of a case study in collaboration with the clothing company NA- KD. The rapid growth of NA-KD will be explained by appropriate theoretical evidence, and not least by the co-founder himself. The modern way of marketing through social media with influencers will be investigated in light of various aspects. How cooperation with one or more influencers looks will be investigated in conjunction with how the strategy has helped NA-KD grow in a short period of time. Brand development and theories about a company's growth are two other important areas that will be studied in order for the thesis to have a relevant and well-reasoned conclusion. All theories presented will be linked to NA-KD’s own growth. The method chosen for the following thesis is of the qualitative type. The empirical collection will consist of an interview with a co-founder of the chosen company, NA-KD. Furthermore, the company's website and Instagram accounts will be observed, as well as four selected influencer's accounts that will also be observed. As well as secondary data such as the NA-KD annual report and a review of a few competitors will be presented. After analysis of the empiric data, clear conclusions emerged. Linkages between influencer marketing and growth became a clear fact. Likewise, cooperation between the companies and individuals was clarified. It was also clear that NA-KD was founded when influencers had already grown and had a major impact. Following thesis will be in Swedish.

Full textInternet and social media are today taking a large part of many people’s lives. This way of communicating with others is, from a historical point of view, new which has brought differences in the number of social media users in each generation. However, today considerably more people are using social media compared to a few years ago and companies have due to this started to use this platform in there marketing. Due to the fact that celebrities and other public people make business collaborations influencer marketing has had a great success. Since generation X can be considered as digital immigrants and generation Y on the other hand is born and raised with the social media, there are reasons to believe in differences regarding the generations’ attitudes towards the phenomenon influencers. The purpose of the study is to investigate the differences in generation X and Y’s approach to influencers. The data which has been collected is from semi structured personal interviews with five individuals from each generation. Through analyzing the data with the help of text templates, some patterns were identified. The two largest differences shown in the study are the overall attitudes towards influencers and the fundamental motive to why people follow influencers. Generally generation X is much more skeptical towards the concept and values a personal connection to the influencer they are following. Instead generation Y has a positive attitude towards the concept with the largest motive to be inspired by the influencer. The discussion of the reasons behind the results is based on some characteristic capacities for each generation. Such as generation X’s negative approach to commercials in general and that generation Y turns commercial into something that benefits themselves. The study does not take in to consideration the fact that the numbers of social media users in the generations differ, instead this study is focused on the people having Instagram today and are following at least one influencer.

Full textEl endorsement ha sido una técnica utilizada con frecuencia en las comunicaciones de marketing. Esta táctica consiste en el uso de una persona o personaje como soporte de comunicación para una marca o producto, en el cual el endorser puede desarrollar diferentes actividades de soporte del producto como portavoz, modelo, embajador o la cara de la marca (Canning y West 2006). El objetivo principal del uso de endorsers es agregar valor a la marca a través de aumentar la visibilidad de la misma y transferir los atributos de esta figura a la marca. Tradicionalmente, se han definido tres tipos de roles de endorsement: usuario, experto y celebridad (Freiden, 1984; Speck et al., 1988). Sin embargo, en el contexto de los avances de las tecnologías de la comunicación, han surgido nuevos formatos de endorsement, siendo estos los Social Media Influencers (SMI), representan una especie de "celebridades online", con la capacidad de ejercer un poder significativo sobre las percepciones del público (Booth y Matic, 2010). En otras palabras, los SMI son personas que influyen en los consumidores para moldear sus actitudes a través de blogs, tweets y el uso de otros sitios de redes sociales como YouTube, Instagram o Facebook (Freberg et al., 2010). Los autores han diferenciado la existencia de diferentes tipos de SMI, uno está compuesto por aquellos llamados micro celebridades que nacieron y desarrollaron su carrera en las redes sociales (Gormley 2016) y el otro grupo se refiere a celebridades 'tradicionales' del mundo offline (como películas, música, deportes, etc.) que desarrollan parte de sus actividades en redes sociales. En este escenario, esta investigación buscará examinar dos objetivos principales: el primero será evaluar el efecto de dos tipos de SMI (micro y celebridades tradicionales) sobre la actitud hacia una marca y la intención de compra que tienen los consumidores; y el segundo será examinar la función moderadora de las características del producto en los efectos de los diferentes SMI. En este sentido, se evalúan dos características, el tipo de producto (búsqueda versus bienes de experiencia) y la familiaridad de la marca.

Full textSocial media is a big part of today’s society and it may seem as a certainty to constantly be available and online. These social platforms have opened the door for a new kind of marketing strategy, the Influencer Marketing. Through this new marketing communication companies are given the possibility to target a new group of customers through the social media channels of the influencer. By studying previous research of the topic we have identified a gap in the research regarding how the business relationship, within Influencer Marketing, between the involved company and influencer work. This paper’s purpose is therefore to study said relationship from the perspectives of marketing to acknowledge how the two parties work together to maintain and uphold the own and each others image. To gain a depth in our paper and to understand the company’s as well as the influencer’s perspective the empirical material has been gathered through several qualitative semistructured interviews. These interviews have been analysed alongside previous research through a qualitative approach.

Full textThis thesis examines adolescents and influencers on social media. The aim is to explore how adolescent define influencers, their relationship and influencers role in their lives. Previous findings suggest that adolescents spend a great deal of time online and influencers are often used in marketing as well as help shape societal norms. The thesis uses semi-structured interviews via instant messaging and qualitative visual analysis. The material consists of 12 interviews with adolescents in Sweden between 15-18 years old and 18 posts by three popular Swedish influencers. The theoretical framework covers concepts of self-presentation, reference group and role models. The results show that adolescent describe an influencer as someone with a lot of followers that tend to influence others, but at the same time, adolescents are reluctant to admit that they are influenced. According to the interviewees in the study, no friendship exists between adolescents and influencers. Instead there is a feeling of community, which might be the result of influencers’ inviting self-presentations. Influencers are significant to adolescents as role models, especially as sources of inspiration. Adolescents and influencers create and embody norms concerning beauty standards and gender, and finally, adolescents expressed different expectations of influencers due to their background.

Full textBakgrund:Innan digitaliseringen var det allt svårare för företag att nå ut till nya målgrupper. Under början av 2000-talet ändrades dock detta då web 2.0 växte fram med “dot-com” bubblan. Detta banade vägen för ett nytt fenomen, sociala medier som är ett sätt för användare att dela sina åsikter och tankar. Att använda sociala medier som en marknadsföringsstrategi har bidragit till att allt fler företag kan nå en bredare publik. Detta har lett fram till ett nytt begrepp vilket är influencers, där de via sina sociala medier kan påverka sin följare vilket företag har börjat utnyttja. Genom att implementerat detta i sina marknadsstrategier kan de nå nya målgrupper och marknader genom att rikta sig på de områden som är attraktiva. Dock kan det bli svårt för följarna att avgöra vad som är äkta eller inte när marknadsföringen sker via influencers. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur följarnas förhållande till influencers påverkas av olika samarbeten mellan företag och influencers. Metod: Studien förhåller sig till en kvalitativ forskningsstrategi där semi-struktuerade intervjuer och observationer har tillämpats för att samla in det empiriska materialet. För att få en variation i resultatet har det intervjuats 12 respondenter i olika åldrar och kön. Slutsats: Utifrån studiens resultat har det visat sig vara viktigt att en influencer visar på autenticitet, en form av äkthet för att följarna ska känna förtroende till dem och att värderingar ska stämma överens med den bild de vill förmedla. Slutsatserna visar även på att tidigare relationer till en influencer och hur ofta de gör ett samarbete kan spela en avgörande roll i hur följarna tar emot det.

Full textToday, marketing is no longer just about communicating a message to a customer, but also helping to create a good impression so that customers begin to communicate and convey the message further on. With digitalization, companies can use different social channels to reach a wider reach and convey their message to a larger group of consumers. In the past, a good TV commercial or advertisement in a magazine could be enough for the consumer to want to buy the product, but today it is not enough. Today, consumers can easily use social media to find inspiration and be influenced in their buying process and decision-making process. As more people use social media, companies should follow. Due to the digital developments, more and more companies have chosen other marketing strategies to reach a wider range of consumers. An example is through social media which has become more important when it comes to marketing, advertising and communication. Social media users have also increased exponentially each year, which is why more and more companies are choosing to use social media as a marketing strategy. In this study, the use of social media will be researched and the attitude of influencer marketing through these channels will be examined. The purpose is to investigate the outcome of this type of marketing as well as how the marketing strategies should be applied by the companies using these channels. Furthermore, the purpose of this study is also to lay the groundwork and map out attitudes so that in further research it will be possible to immerse in the field. To be able to answer the study's research questions, a quantitative research method has been applied. A quantitative approach was considered most appropriate as the goal was to be able to achieve a more representative and broad result as possible. The study proves that marketing via social media helps companies reach more potential consumers with fewer resources. The use of social media is high and will continue to increase, thus marketing through these channels can lead to its message reaching a wider range of people. The study has resulted in the attitude towards influencer marketing via social media being relatively positive, but when there is too much advertisement it leads to irritation. Therefore, it is important as a marketer to find the right balance, where there is not too much advertisement but not too little. In conclusion, we believe that this strategy has succeeded with something that traditional marketing has tried for decades. This study will be written in Swedish.

Full textThe purpose of this essay is to study how influencers and their publication of collaborations on social media are perceived by the followers. To answer the research questions, I have used a qualitative survey method, by conducting six individual interviews with women in the age between 22–27. The study is written based on the theory of The Two-Step Hypothesis, Muliti-step Flow of Communication, Word of Mouth and The Parasocial Interaction Theory. I have also used previous research on Consumer Society and Identity, Celebrities as Opinion Leaders, The User Experiences with Advertising, Visual Meaning on the Internet and New ideals of femininity and entrepreneurship. The result of this study shows that followers and influencers have an superficial relationship, and a relationship that the followers wants to be inspired by the content. When the inspiration no longer exists or ends, the followers unfollow the influencer. The study also shows that followers has critical distancing opinions regarding influencer marketing, because it creates increased consumption. Despite the negative experience of collaborations, the followers find collaborations on social media more trustworthy than traditional advertising.

Full textSociala medier är beroende av samhället, och samhället är beroende av sociala medier. De internetbaserade plattformarna har idag tagit världen med storm. Ord som ”likea”, ”inlägg” och ”kommentera” är centrala begrepp på sociala medier som har kommit att bli nya sätt att kommunicera genom. Vid utvecklingen av sociala medier, har det sociala nätverket förstärkts på så sätt att människor vänder sig till dessa plattformar i syfte att skapa relationer med andra. Den ökade populariteten har resulterat i att flera binder sig till det sociala nätverket, vilket även företagen har uppmärksammat. Eftersom konsumenten är ständig fokus för företagen, blir det alltmer viktigt att finna konsumenternas behov. Forskning visar att relationer och närkontakt värderas högt av konsumenten, vilket även företagen försöker att leva upp till. Varumärkeskommunikationen på sociala medier har dessutom kommit att utvecklas vidare, då företagen använder sig av influencers som en mellanhand, vilket har lett till att det nya konceptet influencer marketing myntats. Det råder däremot oenigheter kring hur konsumenter upplever företagens direkta varumärkeskommunikation och influencer marketing. Därav finner studien relevans i att undersöka hur konsumenterna upplever de olika varumärkeskommunikationerna på sociala medier. Med teorierna som grund, anses tre variabler som en grundläggande förklaring till hur konsumenters upplevelse kan komma att utspelas. De tre variablerna förklarar studien som attityder, trovärdighet och köpintentioner. För att kunna undersöka detta, har studien använt en kvalitativ ansats med fokusgruppsintervjuer som verktyg. Studien är avgränsad till den sociala plattformen Instagram, där respondenterna bestod av kvinnor. En ytterligare avgränsning för studien, var att endast undersöka varumärken relaterat till modebranschen. Studien kom fram till att influencers upplevs som mer verkliga, även definierade som inspirationskällor. Medan företagen, med sin direkta varumärkeskommunikation, kan komma att upplevas som mer kommersiella och mindre verkliga. Nästintill konstgjorda. Det är dock viktigt att konsumenten kan identifiera sig med influencern samt värdera dennas åsikter högt, för att varumärkeskommunikationen ska upplevas som verklig och trovärdig. Dessutom uppvisade resultatet, att konsumenter kan komma att uppleva influencers som inspirationskällor, medan företagens direkta varumärkeskommunikation kan istället upplevas som informationskälla. Vidare kom även studien fram till, att de tre variablerna attityd, trovärdighet och köpintention förhöll sig till varandra. Konsumenterna visar sig först skapa en attityd som i sig bygger vidare på trovärdigheten, vilket gav en köpintetion. En gemensam slutsats i studien, var att influencer marketing och företagens direkta varumärkeskommunikation, kom att upplevas på olika sätt. Men oavsett utfallet, ansågs båda informationskällorna som vitala. Slutsatsen ligger i att båda dessa varumärkeskommunikationerna bör komplettera varandra istället för att exkludera varandra.

Full textThe purpose of this essay is to get an idea of how Swedes view the way children are used in paidcollaborations on social media, where influencers get paid by companies to market productstogether with their children. This is a quantitative study where a survey was sent out to groupsbased on their generation, age and family situation. The questions touched on the topics ofinfluencer marketing, social media habits, approach to products and collaborations.The survey had 102 respondents. The ABC model is an example of a theory that our researchgrounds itself in.The general attitude of the respondents regarding the subject of children participating in paidcollaborations were predominantly negative. Amongst those born 1995-2003 the general opinionswere more divided than the two older age groups were, those who were born 1965 - 1979 or 1980 -1994. The attitude to paid collaborations with children did not differ between the sexes. Of therespondents who did not have children, several more were negative than those who had children.Changes in the attitude was discovered when the participants were asked to take a stand in attitudetowards different product categories. The attitude towards children participating in advertisingchanged depending on what product was marketed. The respondents were more positive to thepaid collaborations when the products were related to children, such as diapers and children'sbooks, unlike “adult” products marketed such as makeup or alcoholic beverages where therespondents were negative. Many of those who did not follow any influencers were negativetowards the paid collaborations. Few of the respondents had been involved in online debateregarding the subject, and most respondents did not want to participate in the future either

Full textIn recent years, the use of influencers, better known as influencers, has been on the rise. You can see the increase in advertising strategies that include these people, since they consider them as a fundamental part of an advertising campaign. These, although it is true, have become a resource for brands, little by little they find themselves in the need to implement different strategies such as carrying out native advertising on Instagram, a variable that will be explained later, in order to get to optimally to the audience. What native advertising seeks is to transmit the advertising message in a subtle way without the audience feeling invaded and taken out of context. The general objective of this research is to analyze the role of this advertising through influencers to successfully bring brands closer to the consumer without the latter having resistance to the message. For this case, the target audience is millennials, who are the ones who spend the most time interacting on social networks. It is important to highlight that the methodology to be used will be qualitative. The in-depth interview technique will be used thanks to the contributions you provide.

Full textSyfte: Syftet med denna studie är att öka kunskap om hur konsumenter i södra Stockholm uppfattar influencers marknadsföring via Instagram samt förstå influencers roll i konsumenternas köpprocess. Teori: Influencers tappar följares förtroende eftersom att många förknippar influencers med tvingad reklam, då det är känt att influencers får betalt för att sprida marknadsföring på sina sociala kanaler. Det finns en oro bland konsumenter och gränsen suddas mellan de privata och sponsrade inläggen. Denna studie omfattar teorier som konsumentens beteende, sociala medier samt influencer marknadsföring. Detta innefattar teorier som mun till mun metoden, användargenererat innehåll, konsumentens köpprocess, opinions ledare samt kulturella värderingar i konsumentbeteende. Metod: Denna forskningsstrategi lägger större vikt på ord än kvantifiering d.v.s siffror. Datainsamlingen har bestått av kvalitativa intervjuer, vetenskapliga artiklar samt litteratur och en deduktiv ansats har anpassats. Studiens urvalsteknik grundade sig på ett bekvämlighetsurval, som är en form av ickesannolikhetsurval. Resultat: Resultatet har analyserats utifrån de nämnda teorierna ovan. Ett resultat som undersökningen visar är att konsumenter reflekterar kring sitt val av influencer på Instagram trots att inte mycket tid läggs åt det. Delade intressen samt identifiering bör finnas för att respondenterna ska klicka på följ knappen. För att ett köp ska gå igenom krävs det dels att respondenterna har förtroende för influencern samt att respondenten ska intressera sig för produkten/tjänsten som marknadsförs.

Full textWe live in a consumer society where we daily are being exposed for advertising in all its different forms. Companies are constantly striving to find new innovative marketing techniques that will break through the media noise, where Influencer marketing has been identified as one of the most successful marketing strategies of today. Previous research that points to the strategy's success has mostly been done on a younger target group. Thus, we have identified a gap in the literature and intend to investigate the effect of this marketing method on an older generation. The purpose of the study is to investigate what relationship women at the age 50-65 have to Influencer marketing, as well as get an idea of what influences their wish to buy clothes for personal use. A subsidiary aim is also to investigate what personal attributes businesses should look for in an Influencer, for women aged 50-65 to embrace their message. We have used qualitative methods with inductive approach. Mainly semi-structured interviews in the form of focus groups, complemented with the method photo elicitationinterview. The result shows that Influencer marketing on social media is not a successful marketing strategy for this target group. Mainly because the respondents do not use social media to the extent required for this to be a possible marketing method. On the other hand, traditional advertising and people in their surroundings showed to hold great influence when it comes to the choice of clothes they wear. Although, if you choose to use Influencer marketing to target these women, trustworthiness, similarity and charisma are three key personal attributes that the target audience appreciates in a potential Influencer.
