ENGAGE CAPITAL LAUNCHES NEW RESEARCH
Minority Business Intelligence Journal

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., August 5, 2003 --- Engage Capital announced a new publication, the Minority Business Intelligence Journal, a monthly newsletter created specifically for corporate executives and investors interested in the demographic changes of America. MBIJ covers consumer purchasing trends, transactions, regulatory activity, and offers an in-depth look at firms in the minority business markets.

Engage Capital’s President and CEO David Takata stated, “The rapidly changing demographics of America should be on the forefront of investors’ minds. When one-quarter of the U.S. is comprised of the African-American and Hispanic populations alone, investors can not afford to consider the collective buying power of the unique cultures living in America.” MBIJ addresses issues relevant to minority-owned businesses, as well as non-minority owned businesses that are tapping into that buying power.

An annual subscription to MBIJ is available for $275, with a limited number of complimentary subscriptions available to press and Engage Capital clients.
