Purpose: This bachelor thesis aims to study how fashion companies in Sweden work with influencer marketing as a tool to strengthen their brand awareness and credibility in social media, and their view on difficulties and risks with the strategy. By investigating the subject we aim to contribute to the knowledge of how companies in the fashion industry can use influencer marketing to strengthen their brand as well as bringing awareness to the challenges with the strategy in conjunction to the strenghts. Our goal is that the findings of this study will contribute to decreasing the lack of information about the challenges and risks with influencer marketing as a digital marketing strategy.
Methodology: This study was conducted through a qualitative method. The empirical material was collected through in depth interviews with six respondents at five big fashion companies in Sweden, and the findings act as the foundation of the study. A literature review on previous research on the subject of influencer marketing, digital marketing and social media is presented as the basis of the study.
Conclusion: The primary conclusion of this study is that fashion companies in Sweden find influencer marketing to the most effective marketing method available to reach the targeted group and build a strong community and credibility with their customers in order to become a top of mind company, but that they also identify difficulties with the strategy connected to the media noise and climate on social media. The conclusion identifies the experienced dilemma between being seen and marketed in influencers social media channels, and the struggle to stand out in the noise of others using the same marketing strategy.
Contributions: This qualitative study contributes to the knowledge of how influencer marketing can be used as a strategy to strengthen brands in social media while also highlighting indented risks and difficulties with the strategy. The in depth interviews have contributed to personal experiences and thoughts from experienced marketers within the fashion industry which bring knowledge to other marketers that work with influencer marketing.

Syfte: Denna studie syftar till att studera hur modeföretag i Sverige arbetar med influencer marketing som verktyg för att stärka sin varumärkeskännedom och trovärdighet i sociala medier, samt deras syn på utmaningar och risker med strategin. Genom att undersöka ämnet vill vi bidra till kunskapen om hur företag inom modebranschen kan använda influencer marketing för att stärka sitt varumärke samt skapa medvetenhet kring utmaningarna med strategin i samband med styrkorna. Vårt mål är att resultaten av denna studie ska bidra till att minska bristen på information om utmaningarna och riskerna med influencer marketing som digital marknadsföringsstrategi.
Metod: Denna studie genomfördes genom en kvalitativ metod. Det empiriska materialet har samlats in genom djupintervjuer med sex respondenter på fem stora modeföretag i Sverige, och resultaten ligger till grund för studien. En litteraturgenomgång om tidigare forskning kring ämnet influencer marketing, digital marknadsföring och sociala medier presenteras som grund för studien.
Slutsats: Den primära slutsatsen av denna studie är att modeföretag i Sverige anser att influencer marketing är den mest effektiva marknadsföringsmetoden som finns för att nå målgruppen och bygga en stark gemenskap och trovärdighet med sina kunder för att bli ett top of mind-företag, men att de också identifierar svårigheter med strategin kopplat till mediebruset och klimatet på sociala medier. Slutsatsen identifierar det upplevda dilemmat mellan fördelarna med att synas och marknadsföra sig i influencers kanaler, svårigheterna i att sticka ut mediabruset bland andra som använder samma strategi.
Bidrag: Denna kvalitativa studie bidrar till kunskapen om hur influencer marketing kan användas som en strategi för att stärka varumärken i sociala medier samtidigt som den lyfter fram risker och svårigheter med strategin. De djupgående intervjuerna har bidragit till personliga erfarenheter och tankar från erfarna marknadsförare inom modebranschen som tillför kunskap till andra marknadsförare som arbetar med influencer marketing.
