The advertisement explicitly recreated the true story of Christian, depicting his early life in a London apartment, his relocation to the African wild, and his eventual emotional reunion with John Rendall and Anthony "Ace" Bourke to serve as a metaphor for building long-term trust. The commercial was conceptualized by the advertising agency FoxP2 and directed by Mike Middleton, featuring an original musical score by local music producer Theo Crous.{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=im8plNrM7-0 |title=Coronation TV commercial from the 2000's.
