Today many companies are using advertising agencies in marketing. That makes the advertising agencies responsible for delivering their clients messages and values to the final customer. Therefore it is very important that communication between an advertising agency and their client works in a way that they have similar marketing goals, despite all the factors that may distract this communication.The object of this essay is to study communication between advertising agencies and their clients, especially when it comes to setting up goals and that way highlight the problems that may occur and to make both the advertising agencies and their clients understand the importance of successful communication.We have done our research by interviewing representatives from advertising agencies and clients to advertising agencies. The interviews have given us some understanding on the subject which we have based our theories on, so we have used an inductive and hermeneutic approach to the subject.By modifying the theories we chose from the beginning and adapting them to the results of our research we have tried to show the advertising agencies and their clients the importance of effective and reliable communication between them. We also want to highlight the problems that may occur in the communication and give advice that hopefully can be used to improve the communication.The communication seems to work well and so does, according to our interviewees the co-operation overall.

Vi vill undersöka den debatt som har förts i några av Sveriges största dagstidningar gällande Bonnierägda biografföretaget Svensk Filmindustris (SF) potentiella uppköp av Schibstedägda SandrewMetronomes biografer.Som studenter i medie- och kommunikationsvetenskaps finner vi inte bara ett stort intresse i själva debatten kring SF Bios eventuella köp av SandrewMetronome utan också i vilka retoriska tekniker som journalisterna och debattörerna använts sig av. Vi kommer att svara på frågor som: Vad betonades under debatten och vilket verklighetsuppfattning syntes hos skribenterna?Vi har valt att begränsa oss till dagstidningar och debatterande artiklar, det vill säga krönikor, kåserier och kommentarer. Fokus har lagts på Dagens Nyheter, Svenska Dagbladet och Sydsvenskan, där vi valt ut fem artiklar som vi sedan har analyserat kvalitativt. Till grund för analysen har vi använt oss av teorier kring mediekoncentration och agenda-setting.Inledningsvis har vi gjort en tematisk analys, där bland annat genre, resonemang och sakförhållanden är i fokus.

Jag har analyserat 108 artiklar med utgångspunkt i kritisk diskursanalys och postkolonial teori.
