THE BRAND BACKSTORY : (whether, where and what to) SHOW AND (to whom, by whom and how to) TELL

Companies often open their doors to the public to show and tell their story. Using fieldwork, museum exhibit data and practitioner interviews with firms and surrounding cultural institutions, we identify the various functions of these brand backstories. This analysis identifies ‘power’ tools that serve in the construction and deployment of brand backstory narratives. These tools can be strategically deployed to alter the focalization or perspective as inward (insider) or outward (outsider) and the landscape or content orientation as either consciousness (why) or action (how) of the backstory based on the backstory’s primary function and targeted audience. These two dimensions yield a typology of backstory experience that maps four backstory functions: organizational identity, socialization, archival, performance. These dynamics reveal how to strategically develop and deploy the narrative power of brand backstories.
