Whether your brand’s origins lie in launching a solution that solved a new problem or its roots run generations deep, sharing this story with the world fosters trust and builds a deeper connection with your customers.<br> </p><p>Just think of the powerhouse <a rel="" href="https://guides.loc.gov/this-month-in-business-history/april/apple-computer-founded" target="_blank">brand origin story behind Apple</a>: two guys in a garage. Those five words alone have become storytelling legend (did you notice that link goes to the Library of Congress?) because their brand made its origin story such an <a rel="" href="https://www.linkedin.com/business/marketing/blog/brand/b2b-brand-development-stages?trk=lms-blog-b2b&src=bl-po" target="_blank">essential part of their messaging</a> across the years.<br> </p><p>Worried that your origin story isn’t exciting enough to share? Don’t be! The best part about a brand origin story is that it is uniquely <em>yours</em>. Sharing that unique story is a power move that no other brand can make. <br> </p><h2>What Is a Brand Origin Story?</h2><p>Your brand’s origin story is the thread that weaves across the tapestry of years to link your current customers to the vision and motive that fueled your brand's inception. Through telling your brand origin story, you share not just its history, but also the values and purpose that define your brand. <br> </p><p>Origin stories can be inspired, messy, or heartfelt – as long as they are authentic. Truth is the most important element, since it is what will bring your audience on the journey with you. <br> </p><p>These examples of brand origin stories show how deeply unique – and at times, unexpected – origins can be.</p><h3><strong>Harley-Davidson</strong></h3><p>Four men coming of age at the dawn of the internal combustion engine <a rel="" href="https://www.insurance.harley-davidson.com/the-open-road/profiles/founders-of-harley-davidson" target="_blank">harness their passions</a> for cycles, engines and mechanical engineering to build the iconic brand we know today. </p><h3><strong>Burt’s Bees</strong></h3><p>A Maine beekeeper living in a renovated turkey barn picks up a hitch-hiking artist, and together Burt Shavitz and Roxanne Quimby start what will become a multi-million dollar health and beauty company. <br> </p><p>As for the company name? “Burt’s original beehives were labeled ‘<a rel="" href="https://www.burtsbees.com/our-story/" target="_blank">Burt’s Bees</a>’ so he could track them down if (ok, when) bee thieves carried them off.”</p><h3><strong>Mailchimp</strong></h3><p>Ben Chestnut and Dan Kurzius already had a business – a web design agency called the Rocket Science Group that catered to large corporate clients. But they saw a need for small businesses to succeed in the email marketing game. <a rel="" href="https://mailchimp.com/about/" target="_blank">Thus, Mailchimp was born!</a> And as those first clients saw their businesses expand, so, too, did Mailchimp.<br> </p><h2>Why Should I Write a Brand Origin Story?</h2><p>The human brain is hardwired for receiving – and remembering – stories. Stories <a rel="" href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/theyec/2022/05/19/this-is-your-brain-on-storytelling-why-we-love-narrative-elearning/" target="_blank">engage two parts of your brain</a>: the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala. While your prefrontal cortex understands the story, your amygdala links emotions to it, helping you remember it better over time.<br> </p><p>Telling your origin story is one of the most effective ways to humanize your brand and establish a genuine emotional connection with your audience. It also serves as a powerful tool for differentiation by encapsulating the unique qualities that define your business, showcasing the values and principles that guide your operations. This approach not only attracts like-minded B2B professionals and leaders but also communicates a sense of purpose that customers want to identify with.<br> </p><p>By weaving your brand's history into its present and future, you establish a consistent and enduring narrative that enhances your brand's recognition and reputation.<br> </p><h2>How to Craft Your Origin Story</h2><p>These storytelling best practices will help you craft a brand origin story that captures your journey, values and mission, while establishing a meaningful connection with your target audience.</p><h3><strong>Find your origin archetype</strong></h3><p>Archetypes are timeless narrative frameworks that tap into universal human experiences, making your origin story relatable and impactful.
