Stories come in many forms, It isn't always your brands origin story that will resonate most with your audience.
One of my best holiday moments was when I was about 13 or 14 I was massivly in to Wham at the time and had a really cheesy hat with their name on and I wore It everywhere along with a Wham t shirt. I thought I was pretty cool, It was at a Ladbrokes holiday park back when health and safety was a nice to have.
I got on the back of the Donkey with great confidence, Did it have a saddle? NOwas I wearing safety gear? NO well apart from my beloved Wham hat. Was said donkey set to run along a track with a number of other donkeys all with equally naive young teens ?ABSOLUTLY YES.
I lasted about 30 seconds before I landed in a heap on the floor donkey running merrily away from me alond with its companions as they unceremoniously dumped their "riders" and rushed to the finish? Was I hurt? just my pride I was the first to fall. and surprisingly I keeped my hat on 😆
I still have a picture somewhere I will share It with you if I can find it
