NEW YORK, Aug. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prenetics Global Limited (NASDAQ: PRE) (“Prenetics” or the “Company”), the parent company of IM8, the premium health and longevity brand co-founded with David Beckham, today announced a multi-year global partnership with two-time Golden Globe-nominated actress and producer Lily Collins, star and executive producer of Netflix’s Emily in Paris. Collins becomes a Global Ambassador of IM8 and a shareholder in Prenetics, demonstrating her long-term conviction in the brand and the Company. She is the first IM8 ambassador from the worlds of film and television, expanding a roster that has, until now, been rooted in elite sport and wellness.
The partnership formalizes an authentic relationship with the brand that began when Collins was introduced to IM8 Daily Ultimate Essentials by her physician while filming in late 2025. She quickly incorporated it into her daily routine, drawn to its simplicity and comprehensive approach. With a daily sachet designed to replace a cabinet full of supplements, IM8 offers a streamlined solution that fits seamlessly into her demanding schedule.
Lily Collins said: “I started taking IM8 while I was filming in England. I felt a difference right away and within weeks, noticed that my energy became steadier through the day. It really helps my immune system hold up across back-to-back travel and long production schedules and has completely replaced the entirety of the supplements I usually take. When the conversation about partnering with the brand happened, it felt like an exciting and natural fit. I’m honored to join the IM8 family."
David Beckham, Co-Founder of IM8, said: “Lily’s relationship with IM8 started in the most authentic way — by using it every day. That means a lot to us, and I’m proud to welcome her to the family.”
Danny Yeung, Co-Founder and CEO of Prenetics and IM8, said: “Lily found IM8 on her own, with no contract and no campaign attached, and she had been taking it daily for months before we ever spoke. She is also our first ambassador from film and television, and that was deliberate — the athletes validated the product, and Lily takes it into wider culture. And she is a shareholder, not a spokesperson — every ambassador we bring in owns a piece of this company, because conviction should cost something.”
WHY THIS PARTNERSHIP MATTERS
Collins brings significant global reach and strategic relevance, connecting with more than 33 million people across social platforms, including more than 28 million on Instagram, where she ranks among the most-followed British women in the world. That audience is engaged rather than passive: her posts average approximately 640,000 likes, and her engagement rate of roughly 5.9% runs several times the 1–2% typical of accounts at comparable scale. As the star and executive producer of one of Netflix’s most-watched comedy series worldwide — a title that reached the platform’s Top 10 in 91 countries and ranked No. 1 in 24 markets on its most recent season, she reaches a multigenerational, female audience and remains firmly part of the cultural zeitgeist, an important priority for the brand’s next phase of growth. Her perspective as a working mother managing a demanding production schedule also positions IM8 naturally within the daily-routine conversation the brand is building toward. The partnership therefore represents a deliberate expansion of the IM8 family beyond elite sports like Football, Basketball, Tennis, Formula 1 and wellness media, and into global culture and entertainment. It also gives IM8 its most direct route yet to the female consumer, a priority segment for the brand’s next phase of growth.
THE PARTNERSHIP
Collins will appear across IM8's global marketing, brand campaigns, content, and product initiatives. She joins a roster that includes co-founder David Beckham, two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, World No. 1 tennis player Aryna Sabalenka, Formula 1 driver Ollie Bearman, author and podcast host Jay Shetty, and Inter Miami CF, and, like every ambassador before her, she takes equity in Prenetics as part of the partnership. Collins is IM8’s first ambassador drawn from film and television, and the first whose primary audience is female.
DAILY ULTIMATE ESSENTIALS AND BUSINESS MOMENTUM
IM8 Daily Ultimate Essentials is the brand's flagship: a single daily sachet delivering 90 science-backed ingredients engineered to replace 16 supplements in one daily drink. Since launching in December 2024, IM8 has delivered more than 57 million servings, currently ships ~200,000 servings a day, and receives an order every 27 seconds. The brand now ships to 46 countries, with 54% of revenue generated outside the United States. IM8's product pipeline continues to expand, with IM8 Hydration launching in Q4 2026 and a premium gummies line to follow in the first half of 2027. Driven by the explosive growth of IM8, Prenetics has raised its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $220–$230 million and initiated guidance of $400 million or more in full-year 2027 revenue. The Company achieved positive consolidated Adjusted Free Cash Flow in July 2026 and expects to remain consolidated Adjusted Free Cash Flow positive for the full third quarter of 2026 and beyond.
