Abstract [sv]

Influencer marketing är en av de snabbast växande delarna i reklambranschen, och med hjälp av influencer marketing har varumärkena möjlighet att skapa en nära relation med sina konsumenter på Instagram. Idag använder många företag sig av influencers med ett stort antal följare för att marknadsföringen skall vara så effektiv som möjlig. För att bli en framgångsrik influencer krävs det att influencern har en bra fingertoppskänsla mellan vad som är intressant, relevant samt vad följarna vill se i deras Instagramflöden. Eftersom det i nuläget inte finns mycket forskning angående företags strategier om hur de använder sig av influencers i sin marknadsföring. Det finns ett gap i forskningen eftersom att detta är ett relativt nytt sätt för företag att marknadsföra sina produkter på. Det har gjorts lite forskning angående influencer marketing strategier ur ett företagsperspektiv. Detta gjordes genom observationer på utvalda modeföretags Instagramkonton samt på de olika influencernas Instagramkonton som respektive modeföretag samarbetar med i sin influencer marketing. Utöver detta genomfördes kvalitativa, strukturerade intervjuer med respondenter från svenska modeföretag angående företagens influencer marketing strategier på respektive Instagramkonton. Studiens slutsatser visar på att modeföretagen tar någon form av strategiska val i sin influencer marketing när de väljer ut vilka influencers de vill samarbeta med på Instagram. De strategiska valen modeföretagen fattar i sin influencer marketing på Instagram är bland annat hur väl influencern passar företagens målgrupper och kampanjer. Influencer valet grundar sig ofta i influencernas storlek, deras sätt att bygga relationer med sina följare samt sättet de kommunicerar på med sina följare. De strategiska val företagen tar vid val av influencers i sin influencer marketing liknar ofta varandra, men beroende på vilket marknad de riktar sig mot är det större variation på vilka influencers de samarbetar med på Instagram.

Abstract [en]

Influencer marketing is one of the fastest growing parts of the advertising industry, and with the help of influencer marketing, brands have the opportunity to establish a close relationship with their consumers on Instagram. Today many companies use influencers with a large number of followers to make marketing as effective as possible. To become a successful influencer, it requires the influencer to have a good understanding between what's interesting, relevant and what followers want to see in their Instagram feeds. As there is currently not much research on corporate strategies on how they use influencers in their marketing. There is a gap in research because this is a relatively new way for companies to market their products. There has been little research on influencer marketing strategies from a business perspective. This has been done with observations on selected fashion companies Instagram accounts as well as observations on the various influencers Instagramaccounts with which the respective fashion companies collaborate in their influencer marketing. In addition to this, qualitative, structured interviews were conducted with respondents from Swedish fashion companies regarding the companies' influencer marketing strategies on their respective Instagramaccounts. The study's findings show that fashion companies make some form of strategic choice in their influencer marketing when choosing which influencers they want to collaborate with on Instagram. The strategic choices fashion companies make in their influencer marketing on Instagram include how well the influencer suits the companies' target groups and campaigns. The influencer choice is often based on the size of the influencers, their way of building relationships with their followers and the way they communicate with their followers. The strategic choices companies make when choosing influencers in their influencer marketing are of-ten similar, but depending on which market they targeting, there is greater variation in which influencers they collaborate with on Instagram.
