MEC was reappointed by Lionsgate in 2009 after fighting off competition from Initiative. The business was then worth £12 million. The agency also retained the account in 2011.

Jason Dormieux, the joint chief executive at MEC, said: "We’re incredibly proud of the work we’ve done during our 11-year relationship with Lionsgate.

"From working with them as a small independent to helping them achieve their recent success as one of the UK’s largest franchise distributors. We wish them every success with their future releases."
