A year after putting out ‘Marc Ecko’s Getting Up’, fashion designer Marc Ecko has taken things to the next level today with the formal announcement of Marc Ecko Entertainment, a newly formed organization focused on originating, funding, and developing interactive properties. The new division, to be headed by Marc Ecko Enterprises’ (’MEE’) veteran Mike Lynch, will focus on initiating and identifying innovative games, as well as working with publishers to bring them to market.

‘Our goal is to expand creativity in videogames, we want to try brand new things,’ said Marc Ecko, Founder and Chief Creative Officer of MEE. ‘There are so many great ideas out there that either aren’t getting the attention they need or are being completely ignored. We will work with the visionaries of the medium and get these inventive titles in the hands of gamers.’

‘Since the launch of Marc’s first game, ‘Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure’, last year, we have begun cultivating new game concepts, funding interesting titles that were already in development, and keeping an eye out for progressive ideas,’ said Mr. Lynch, President of Marc Ecko Entertainment. ‘One of our initial projects is with a developer that was responsible for one of the biggest hits of 2006. We’ll be announcing details on this game very soon.’
