In recent years, the internet has exploded of images. Not at least in the popular photo-sharing network Instagram as one of the fastest growing social network for the moment. Millions of people around the world share pictures and expose themself for friends and family. We were therefore interested in which experiences and attitudes users have towards their identities in relation to their self-image and self-presentation on Instagram. Furthermore, whether they in general have a primary interest in using Instagram as a tool to experiment with images to present their identity on Instagram, in which way they approach their Instagram follower?s expectations on how they present themselves on Instagram and if they are aware of any strategies in their self-presentation on Instagram.The result of this study is the fact that our respondents thinks that they do not intend to have a primary interest in experimenting with images on Instagram to present their identitiy, it is rather something that comes naturally in how they present themselves on Instagram.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att skapa en förståelse för hur nyetablerade modeföretag kan arbeta med sin identitetsmix för att kommunicera en individualistisk modeimage. Vi har gjort en fallstudie av ett ungt, svenskt modeföretag samt intervjuat fyra återförsäljare inom branschen. Slutsatserna är att ett modeföretag genom sin identitetsmix kan arbeta med att synas i rätt sammanhang, förmedla en känsla av unikhet och professionalism kring företaget, kontinuerligt förnya sin produktlinje samt värna om sin image för att inte överexponeras..

This essay describes the Swedish furniture business and its strong competition between domestic and foreign producers. As the demand on higher development speed grows stronger, alongside a fierce competition between the companies, long lasting and unique qualities such as customer relations and strong brand names become crucial. Nowadays many furniture producers chose to sell their products through retailers and they therefore miss out on invaluable direct contact with their customers. Consequently, this means that they lack the perquisite to build relations or more importantly, to communicate their brand.To illustrate the problem a case study and a survey have been carried out. The study compares the strategic marketing works between producers who have own concept stores and those who uses retailers.

Personal branding is a common phenomenon within the Swedish business world, although less applied on the competitive and fast paced music industry. In order to strengthen Swedish artists' personal brands and to ensure congruence between the artists' presented identities and the target audiences' perceived images, we have developed a model, containing of seven essential factors. The seven dimensions authenticity, credibility, certainty, openness, availability, awareness and timeliness help improve strength when communicating brand identity, as well as minimizing potential discrepancy between identity and image. This report examines the brand strategies within the Swedish music industry through a case study of Sweden's largest pop star, Eric Saade, where Team Saade's communicated identity is compared to the targets audience's perceived image of Saade. Overall, Saade's personal brand has a high level of congruence, except from the clarity dimension, where his words are considered differing from his actions.

Our purpose has been to outdo how companies market, as well as which factors that are vital, for a successful promotion of their artists.

With emphasis on women's magazines and men, this essay will revolve around the image of the ideal woman. Our purpose was to examine whether men have a distinct image regarding the appearance and behaviour of the ideal woman. Next step was to establish whether the women's magazines also presented a specific image to their readers.The answers were found through a qualitative study that included ten men, and through an extensive analysis by women's magazines. The result indicated that both the men questioned and the women's magazines presented a clear view of an ideal woman. The views held by the men, were then compared to the images presented by the women's magazines and were found to be very similar.We used Erving Goffmans sociological theory to describe the actual woman and the ideal images of women that the men questioned and the women's magazines presented.

För inte allt så länge sedan hade butiksmiljöer få krav att möta. En butik behövde egentligen bara vara ren och organiserad för att maximera sin försäljning. Idag måste butiksmiljön knytas samman med varumärket och förmedla dess image. Det handlar mycket om att skapa ett varumärke för att konsumenterna ska lägga märke till företaget och produkterna. Vi har uppmärksammat att fler och fler konceptbutiker dyker upp runt om i våra större städer. Detta är ett fenomen som hittills är ganska odokumenterat varpå det fångat vårt intresse.

In the selected material the sections focusing on Strindberg and his writings are closely read and critically analysed.
