En studie i hur chefredaktörer för modemagasin arbetar med sina personliga varumäkesidentiteter
The theory chapter is based on a model about brand identity, ?Brand Identity Prism? (Kapferer, 2008, s.183). This model contains six elements which we have supplemented with theories about personal branding. This because the focus and theory on a person's brand identity is almost non-existent. The purpose of the study is therefore to examine how editors at fashion magazines are working with their brand identity in the personal brand and thereby create an understanding of the identity function. The question our study aims to answer is: "How do editors of fashion magazines work with their brand identity?"To meet the objective and to answer the question formulation we have chosen to use a qualitative research method with a semi-structured interview. Interviews are conducted with Charlotta Flinkenberg, Hermine Coyet-Ohlén, Mona Johansson and Per Nilsson. All interviews are presented in chapter four "Empiri" and analyzed in subsequent chapters.The analysis of our respondents? answers generated a modified model of Kapferers' Brand Identity Prism (Kapferer, 2008, s.183). We argue that this modified model shows a more clear picture of each of the factors impact on the personal brand identity.The results of the study show that culture, with values and core values as key concepts, serve as a base for the work with the personal brand identity.
