As a past member of the Hong Kong Men's Volleyball Team, fitness lover, basketball ace, and Taekwondo enthusiast, Ian believes in the importance of health. Ian's positive health image makes him the perfect product ambassador, encouraging individuals to resume normal life and be health-conscious. Ian's music illustrates Circle HealthPod's story by incorporating the message of physical and mental health in the commercial's lyrics, spreading a catchy melody that hopes to heal the  community in this new era.

Circle HealthPod's mission is conveyed in the song "It's a Brand New Day", sung by Ian and specially created for this commercial product. As the riveting melody complements his uplifting voice., Ian sings about the dream to re-connect with the world, the community, and the people around him through Circle HealthPod. He conveys that the test can bring affirmation, peace of mind, and protection to the community. Danny Yeung, Co-Founder and Group CEO of Prenetics, said, "Since the pandemic, our daily lives have been distanced and separated, both socially and physically. We believe that everyone shares the same sentiment and hope that revolutionary science and technology can bring positive changes to society and reconnect people.
