Det finns mycket skrivet om upplevelsens funktion i teorier kring upplevelseekonomin, men upplevelsen som begrepp inom event marketing inte är lika utförligt behandlat. Upplevelsen är ett centralt begrepp som används flitigt i litteratur rörande event marketing utan att man egentligen går in på dess funktion. Diskussionen stannar istället vid konstaterandet att upplevelsens funktion är att förstärka budskapet och utreds inte mer noggrant än så. Syftet med uppsatsen är att öka förståelsen för upplevelsen vid event marketing, och analysera huruvida upplevelseekonomins teorier om upplevelsen är applicerbara inom event marketing. Vi har i denna uppsats använt av oss av en kvalitativ studie för att skapa en ökad förståelse för upplevelsen vid event marketing.

A reform of higher education in Sweden in 1993 led to stiffer competitive climate among educational institutions. The reform meant that educational institutions now had the opportunity to plan their curriculum autonomously. Prior to the reform educational planning was restricted to the Swedish government.

In this paper, we examine the attitudes of 16- to 19-year olds towards stealth viral marketing in the form of videos posted on websites such as Youtube. Apart from their general attitudes towards the phenomenon, we were also concerned with their views on the ethics involved in this marketing method and how this affects their view on the companies behind the advertising. To accomplish this, we administered a survey to a sample chosen by convenience. Using the Persuasion Knowledge Model and prior research on the subject, we then analyzed the gathered data and reached the conclusion that the respondents in our sample were mainly positive towards stealth viral marketing in this particular form, that they generally did not consider it unethical and that even though most considered the companies to be responsible for such videos, teenagers were not likely to take negative actions against them if they found out that a video that they had seen was in fact a stealth viral video..
