 brown bag |
Brown Bag is a re-innovation of the traditional meal delivery service. When originally approached with the concept of Brown Bag, we sat with the entrepreneurs that wanted to start the venture and understood their vision, requirements and their individual strengths. The emagine group was asked to provide capital assistance along with setting up the operations. The vision that the Brown Bag brings is to provide a healthy meal choice to offices with a couple of innovations to the market: providing a diverse mixture of continental and domestic meals, an internet and Short Messaging Service (SMS) based ordering, meal alternatives for lower paid staff, and discount loyalty programs for regular customers. Brown Bag will launch commercial operations in April of 2006 |

| digitally hip |
Digitally Hip is a market breakthrough for Gen X and Y, providing a "digitally-hip" alternative for the typically coffee shops. Digitally Hip is a coffee shop/internet cafe/MP3 shop. For the regular customer, there is wired and wireless internet connectivity, along with complete printing and binding facilities. Unlike the traditional local print shops, Digitally Hip allows customers to send or upload files and have the printed copy delivered to their office or direct to the intended recipient. For the "digitally hip," there is a growing library of over 300,000 MP3 tracks that can be purchased on CD or transferred to your MP3 player. If you don't find a track that you are looking for, the customer just needs to let a Floor Agent know and they will be notified when the track is available. And for those special occasions, Digitally Hip provides printing and design services for CD covers. Digitally Hip, a joint venture between the emagine group and a private investor, will launch operations in Winter 2006. |

| skill development center |
With the changes in the global economy and the push by organizations to outsource, many people are finding themselves employed. SDC is a focused skill development program that allows individuals to attain the understanding and knowledge that is required to function in the new global economy. In addition, with the extremely high unemployment in South East Asia due to a dramatic shift in resource requirements, SDC also provides fundamental training to facilitate a successful career change from labor to technology. In addition to skill development, SDC maintains a separate division for organizations that want to understand how they can improve their efficiency and productivity to compete better in the global economy. This division works with executives to understand what customer requirements are and how they can be best met, focusing on customer retention and loyalty strategies. SDC has been in operation on a limited scale in collaboration with 4SquarePeg, a member company of the emagine group, and will become the newest addition to the emagine group in the Summer of 2006. |

| available here |
The Pakistani market is populated with numerous vendors for corporate and event merchandising, but has continually lagged behind due to the lack of vision, quality and commitment to delivery causing many organizations to go elsewhere for their merchandising needs. After working with many vendors to satisfy our own clients, we started looking for a better option to the "same old, same old." Available Here has been built through the conglomeration of various organizations through mergers and acquisitions and a capital infusion from the emagine group to bring state of the art technology to Pakistan to be able to deliver merchandising items at a lower price with international quality standards. Available Here not only provides basic collateral printing, but has crossed the divide into screen printing, heat transfer and computerized embroidery machines. Available Here also provides merchandising consultants that will assist corporate/event managers with planning their merchandising requirements and assuring that the every detail is planned for. Available Here has been in limited operation in collaboration with iMedia, a member company of the emagine group, and will become an independent venture in Autumn 2006. |
