(2019) SKOK11 20191Department of Strategic Communication
- Abstract

This indicate that the male and female roles in traditional marketing is still relevant today. The study also showed that the way companies convey their message on Instagram is vastly different depending on their intended target group. The study aims to contribute to the research field of strategic communication with focus on market communication. (Less)
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Företag väljer att övergå till en modernare marknadsföringsmetod såsom Influencer Marketing. Influencer Marketing fungerar genom word-of-mouth som är en metod där information sprids från en person till en annan. Studien avser därför att analysera om företag som jobbar med Influencer Marketing fortfarande använder sig av könsstereotypisk reklam för att marknadsföra sina produkter. En semiotisk analys genomfördes på företaget Nelly.com och deras Instagram-konto, @nellycom och @nlymancom. Resultatet uppvisar att företag som jobbar med Influencer Marketing fortfarande använder sig av könsstereotypisk reklam för att influera den tänkta målgruppen. Vidare resulterade studien i att män och kvinnor framställs på olika sätt på Instagram. De... (More)
- Företag väljer att övergå till en modernare marknadsföringsmetod såsom Influencer Marketing. Influencer Marketing fungerar genom word-of-mouth som är en metod där information sprids från en person till en annan. Studien avser därför att analysera om företag som jobbar med Influencer Marketing fortfarande använder sig av könsstereotypisk reklam för att marknadsföra sina produkter. En semiotisk analys genomfördes på företaget Nelly.com och deras Instagram-konto, @nellycom och @nlymancom. Resultatet uppvisar att företag som jobbar med Influencer Marketing fortfarande använder sig av könsstereotypisk reklam för att influera den tänkta målgruppen. Vidare resulterade studien i att män och kvinnor framställs på olika sätt på Instagram. De traditionellt bundna roller förekommer fortfarande i reklam där männen framställs mer värdefulla än kvinnor. Den kvinnliga kroppen används i reklam på ett sexualiserat och utmanande sätt för att väcka betraktarens intresse. Resultatet visade även att kommunikationen på Instagram ser olika ut då budskapet anpassas efter den tänkta målgruppen. Uppsatsen ämnar bidra med forskning inom Strategisk kommunikation inom fältet marknadskommunikation. (Less)
