Hur kan företag via sponsring påverka sin varumärkesimage och hur använder sig företag av sponsring för att stärka sitt varumärke? Syftet är att undersöka hur företag arbetar med sponsring och hur de använder sig av sponsring med intentionen att påverka sitt varumärkes image. Studien ska ge nyanserande och upplyftande kunskaper i våra frågeställningar och ge företagen ökad kunskap om sponsring och hur de själva kan arbeta med att förbättra sin sponsringsverksamhet.Metod: En studie ur ett företagsperspektiv som genomförts på fem fallföretag. Primärdata har samlats in via intervjuer med respondenter från de valda företagen och den sekundära informationen har återfunnits i etablerad teori samt artiklar. Studiens teoretiska referensram är baserad på befintliga teorier inom vårt ämnesområde sponsring och varumärken.Empiri: En presentation av fem företags sponsringsverksamhet och deras syn på hur sponsring kan användas i syfte att påverka företagets varumärkesimage.Slutsats: Företag använder sig först och främst av sponsring för att positivt påverka sin varumärkesimage och för att nå ut till sin målgrupp.

Syfte: Syftet med vår uppsats är att undersöka hur ett företags utbud av egenmärkta varor påverkar företagets image, samt imagens överensstämmelse med företagets profil. Vi vill i vår undersökning gå djupare in på om kunderna upplever att kedjornas EMV ger dem ett mervärde, vilken image kunderna förknippar med livsmedelskedjorna och deras egenmärkta varor, samt om det finns ett gap mellan den faktiska imagen och företagets profil. Metod: För att lättare kunna applicera våra teorier har vi valt att arbeta med två fallföretag, och då ICA och Coop är två av de största aktörerna på livsmedelsmarknaden valdes just dess två företag. Vår uppfattning är att det är lättare att se tydliga mönster i konsumtion och beteende om man studerar två företag som har stor kundmedvetenhet, vilket vi anser att ICA och Coop har. De empiriska studierna består av en kvantitativ enkätundersökning med 50 slumpmässigt utvalda respondenter, samt två kvalitativa intervjuer med EMV- ansvariga på ICA och Coop.

This master thesis project is a part of a project called ?Järboprojektet? at the regional board of forestry, the district of Gästrikland. The project will give answers to questions regarding if an analysis of satellite images can be used to contact and inform landowners of the located areas where precommercial thinning is useful. The whole project is a part of the National Board of Forestrys IT-stake where the analysis of satellite images will, at the latitudes possible, be adapted to each district in purpose to identify these areas in need of precommercial thinning. This master thesis project is based on a field inventory of identified objects where precommercial thinning is useful.

It is increasingly important for cities to attract visitors, potential new residents and businesses. Jönköping is one of the cities working with place marketing, a strategy that intends to mediate a positive image of the city, in order to accomplish just that.People often have a need to preserve the memory of a trip into something tangible. Anyone visiting Jönköping encounters a souvenir choice, much like the one in many other cities. Linked to the idea of positive place marketing, our work aims to investigate how we as product developers can create a product that en¬hances the image of Jönköping based on the thought that all residents are con¬sig¬nors. Accordingly, we develop three different products from the residents' own image of the city.Our research questions are:Based on the photographs, what image of Jönköping do the ambassadors mediate of their own city?As designers, what in Jönköping's history versus the image of Jönköping today, can we seize in order to give products for visitors a sense of authenticity?As designers, how can we use knowledge of place branding in the development of souvenirs?We performed interviews within three different aspects: history, souvenirs and place branding, all focused on the city of Jönköping.

ABSTRACTSegregation is more and more common in the Swedish society, especially in those suburbs called ?miljonprogramsförorter? which are characterized as grey and boring districts with low status. These suburbs are often mentioned in the media and the public associate them with immigrants, problems and crimes. Kungsmarken in Karlskrona is one of these suburbs and the purpose of this essay was to compare the media image with the images local participants had of Kungsmarken. The questions I brought up were how media was describing Kungsmarken, how this image has contributed to the low status of Kungsmarken, and if this image was reflecting the local participants? images.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka relationer mellan ett varumärke i som erbjuder servicetjänster och unga konsumenter. Syftet besvaras genom fyra frågeställningar gällande varumärkets kommunikation, hur konsumenterna uppfattar varumärket och hur konsumenterna relaterar till varumärket. Undersökningen teoretiska ramverk består av teorier och begrep inom området public relations, centrala begrepp är märkeslojalitet, position, identitet och image.Undersökningens empiri är insamlad genom en deskriptiv anals av varumärket 3, två informantintervjuer med säljare på 3 och två fokusgruppsintervjuer med unga konsumenter. Empiri är analyserat genom en innehållsanalys och de slutsatser som framkom är att relationen mellan konsumenter och varumärke är skev, där varumärket kommunicerar en image som inte uppfattas likadant av konsumenterna. Det framkom även att den relation som konsumenterna har till varumärket är en form av märkeslojalitet som grundar sig mer på bekvämlighet än ren lojalitet..

This essay explores how artwork in the public space can be analysed, conceptualized and described by bringing attention to site. Through an analysis of artworks in the yearly art exhibition of Fittja Open 2011, the essay draws attention to site-specific art and structures of power. The principal aim is to present not only the exhibition of Fittja Open 2011 but also other artwork in the public sphere in Fittja, a suburb to Stockholm. From this point of departure other interests evolve that concerns the "image" of Fittja. The analysis, based on research in art history, architecture, ethnology and philosophy as well as qualitative interviews, also focuses on understanding the role of site and the relations between art practice, institutions and site.The result shows that there are problems with a ruptured interface between the artwork and site.

A film can attract all kinds of emotions and moods of the audience through its audiovisual communications and cinematic expression, in which music plays a significant role in both understanding and interpretation of film content.It is interesting to explore the musical significance and the emotional aspect of the film out of a media and communications perspective and visual communications perspective because it?s a subject that belongs to the communications of scientific discipline as film is a media text which is working both as communicative and as audio-visual medium with its expressive aspects.The purpose of this bachelor?s paper is to increase and deepen the understanding of music's function and significant role in context with its reinforcing sense of visual expression in film. More specifically, it aims to explore the musical value of the expressive aspect of the media text in form of film musical Les Misérables (2012), which has been transmedialised from the novel of the same name, referring to the sound, music and song in relation to the film's visual expression.The research questions are at the core of the essay study: "how is music used to reinforce the cinematic visual expression?" and "how can music signify the narrative and highlight the emotional aspect of the film?" The theoretical framework is based on some of the key scholars assumptions such as Michel Chion (1994) and Claudia Gorbman (1987), who share the same theoretical views that the soundtrack seems powerful when it expresses its participation in a scene?s emotional moods as the music follows the scene?s rhythm, the image?s flow and contributes emotional and musical codes of emotions and expressions. According to Chion sound and image interact together to tell a story where sound enrich the image with expressive and informative values.
