Abstract
The thesis is based on a qualitative multiple case study with an abductive approach. It examines the relationship between brand placement and gender roles in films between the 1980s and 2010s, with the main purpose to contribute to the gender and marketing literature on how the portrayal of male and female characters in films has developed, changed and been translated through brand placement within a social context.
Through the thesis, we have found a correlation between the use of brand placement and the development of gender roles over time. Certain attributes have been intensified and have sometimes strengthened stereotypes through the display of brand placements.
