Title: Brand evolving in identity shaping TV commercial ? a quantitative study of Gevalias commercial movies over time. (Varumärkesutveckling i identitetsskapande tv-reklam ? en kvantitativ studie av Gevalias reklamfilmer över tid) Number of pages: 35 Author: Julia Garellick Lindborg Tutor: Anne-Marie Morhed Course: Media and Communications studies C Period: Autumn of 2010 University: Division of Media and Communication, Department of Information Science, Uppsala University Purpose: The purpose of the study has been to investigate in what ways the concept of success is constructed in Gevalia?s TV commercials with the theme ?unexpected visit?. Eight identity evolving variables have been chosen to measure variations in the pattern of the unexpected visit in order to understand the essence of time. Material/Method: The study is executed through a quantitative content analysis. The material studied is 18 of Gevalia?s TV commercials produced from 1991 to 2010. The study is a complete investigation of the material that has been found over the internet and especially on Youtube. Main results: The results show that Gevalia?s 18 TV commercials with the theme?unexpected visit? follows the same concept through a period of 20 years. In the pattern of the concept a variation is seen in the use of for example coffee visibility, elect of slogan and sort of drama construction. This variation is distinctively seen after the millennium and can among other things depend upon a shift in commercial company and the need to renew. A small change that however follows a pattern the audience is able to remember from earlier, has by Gevalia been identified as highly essential in order to not wear out their audience. All commercials consist of more or less humor in purpose of seeking attention to be able to profile the product on the market. The thematic identity in the commercials that humor helps building is seen as the greatest contribution to why Gevalia has evolved into such a strong brand and a large reason for its success.
