Nomothetic quantitative explanatory research design anchored on positivist paradigm was applied. Data were collected via physical self-administered survey, resulting in 335 responses from 6 selected companies listed on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE), in 6 industrial sectors. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) using AMOS version 6 software, was used to test the propositions. Results depicted that there is a positive link between corporate stories for branding elements such as corporate activities (r(335) =.15, p =.01), corporate values (r(335) =.84, p <.001), corporate associations (r(335) =.60, p <.001), corporate personality (r(335) =.90, p <.001) and emotional attachment with internal stakeholders’ corporate brand perceptions (r(335) =.74, p <.001).
