  • The Roadtrip 2014: Youtubers' Sponsorships For
    Aalborg University – Copenhagen Master of Arts in Tourism Master Thesis Supervisor: Tanja Knoblauch Nielsen The RoadTrip 2014: YouTubers’ Sponsorships for Touristic Campaigns 1 Carina Monteiro Johansen Sibylle Armelle Yann Rivoallan June 2015 1 Cover picture’s source: http://www.contiki.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/roadtrip2014-e1407260738165.jpg Abstract This case study examines the RoadTrip 2014 campaign’s impact on Contiki’s brand perception. In an extended theoretical part, relevant concepts such as brand and brand perception, innovation, YouTube, brand ambassadors, co-creation of brand, online communities, word-of-mouse and video performances, storytelling and interactions are defined, analysed and connected to this case study. The choice of a qualitative research in an online context implied a netnographic approach. Primary data was collected during a focus group gathering six respondents who are not subscribed to YouTubers’ channels. They were shown each video of the campaign, relating the day the YouTubers left Nice, visited Genoa, Pisa and arrived in Florence during the RoadTrip 2014. Secondary data was the analysis of each video that the focus group commented on. Complementary data was gathered among four subscribers of some of the RoadTrip 2014 YouTubers who were questioned and interviewed regarding their relationship with YouTube, YouTubers and their opinions about Contiki. The goal was to compare interpretations about the campaign in general, the YouTubers and the videos among different groups part of online communities or not. Quantitative data made available on YouTube such as number of views, thumbs up and down was also used as a base to measure the success of the videos and the campaign as a whole.

  • The Marketing Concept on Company Performance with Specific Reference to Customer Services Within the Travel Agency Industry in the Western Cape
    G THE PENINSULA TECHNIKON BUSINESS FACULTV Mtech Thesis THE INFLUENCE OF THE MARKETING CONCEPT ON COMPANY PERFORMANCE WITH SPECIFIC REFERENCE TO CUSTOMER SERVICES WITHIN THE TRAVEL AGENCY INDUSTRY IN THE WESTERN CAPE MORNAY ROBERTS-LOMBARD CAPE TOWN SEPTEMBER 2001 A MASTERS DEGREE DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF MARKETING OF THE BUSINESS FACULTY AT PENINSULA TECHNIKON In fullIlment ofthe requirements ofthe Masters Degree in Technology: Marketing September 2001 by M. Roberts-Lombard Supervisor: Mr. I.C. van der Heever (peninsula Technikon) DECLARATION I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained inthis thesis is my own original work and has not previously in its entirety or in part been submitted at any university or technikon for a degree. SIGNATURE: DATE: ABSTRACT Companies operating in the sel"Vlce industry must take note of three important marketing tasks. The first of these tasks is that companies should realise that they must provide the market with a variety of products. Businesses should therefore furnish the market with a diversified product range. Secondly, customers expect from the business sector to provide them with a quality service that even exceeds their own expectations. Thirdly, to ensure its survival in a competitive environment, the company should improve the productivity ofits employees e.g. by improving the level of customer service provided to customers. Kotler (1997: 488) argues that such an improvement in productivity levels of employees can be achieved through employees working more skilIfully, increasing the quantity of service by surrendering some quality, industrialising the service, inventing new-product solutions, designing more effective services, presenting customers with the incentive to substitute their own labour for company labour, or using technology to save time and money.
