Syfte: Syftet med studien är att beskriva hur svenska modeföretag arbetar för att skapa Brand Identification  hos sina externa distributörer, samt vilka faktorer som påverkar möjligheterna att skapa Brand Identification. Vidare är syftet att belysa vilka tillvägagångssätt svenska modeföretag använder för att tackla faktorernas inverkan på skapandet av distributörernas Brand Identification.Resultat: Studien visar att arbetet med Brand Identification är viktigt redan i ett inledande skede av ett samarbete. Förmågan att skapa en känsla av tillhörighet är viktig för att Brand Identification med producentens varumärke ska vara möjlig, särskilt då distributören arbetar som representant för flera varumärken. Tillvägagångssätt för detta är kommunikation som är riktad mot distributörens säljkår samt socialiseringsprocesser vid personliga besök hos distributörerna..

The increased media clutter requires of brand managers to be innovative and creative in their choices of marketing communications in order for brands to be salient in the minds of consumers. Recent studies emphasize incongruent marketing as a means of "standing out" from this competitive clutter and reaching existing and new potential customers. The aim of this thesis is to examine the effects of brand incongruent sponsorships (sponsorships which are incongruent with established brand associations) on consumer response to well-established brands from the perspective of high and low levels of loyalty. A quantitative survey was conducted and the results show that incongruent sponsorships improve brand attitude, brand interest and brand credibility, while not affecting ad attitude, purchase intention and word-of-mouth intention for customers of low loyalty. For highly loyal customers the findings were that brand attitude, brand interest, brand credibility, purchase intention and word-of-mouth intention remained unchanged while ad attitude decreased.
