Reach Out : En studie om synkronisering som marknadsföringsverktyg i musikindustrin

Sammanfattning: The purpose with this study is to understand how the synchronizing process in the music industry works and see how it can be used as a marketing tool.  The study was done through a qualitative method with an inductive approach. As previous studies on this subject are very few, the inductive approach felt like a natural choice for us. Through interviews we got to know how the music industry sees the subject. Our result shows that the synchronization process can be done in various ways.  Synchronization can also be considered as a marketing communication tool. It also shows that a synchronization can be seen as a kind of product placement as music can be seen as a product. It can also be linked to co-branding. The importance of congruence between the brands is highlighted. If it is not congruent the synchronization can be negative for both parts.
