Achieves Major Milestone and Increases Investor Transparency

NEW YORK, Oct 20, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- Design Marketing Concepts, Inc. (www.dmcleads.com) (Pink Sheets:CSHA), currently listed on Pink Sheets (www.pinksheets.com) and other stock boards as Casa Havana, Inc. (CSHA), is proud to announce that it has improved its status with Pink Sheets from Limited Information to Current Information. All shareholders can now view the Company's Initial Company Information and Disclosure Statement, as well as other financial associated documents that are required to achieve Current Information Status with Pink OTC Markets, Inc.

Pink Sheets Current Information companies are those that submit filings to Pink Sheet regulators with powers of review and that make the filings publicly available, or non-reporting companies that make current information publicly available on the Pink Sheets News Service pursuant to Pink OTC Markets Guidelines for Providing Adequate Current Information (http://www.pinksheets.com/content/doc/ps/Disclosure/Guidelines/2.pdf). The Current Information category is based on the level of disclosure.

According to Pink OTC Markets, securities of Pink Sheet companies that provided current disclosure to the public markets, either through a regulator or directly to Pink OTC Markets, represented 80.2% of all the dollar volume traded so far in 2009. The average dollar volume per security in 2009 has averaged $81,259,055, for securities that obtained Current Information Status with Pink OTC Markets, compared to $745,812, which is the average dollar amount per security with No Information.

Pink OTC Markets, Inc. provides inter-dealer electronic quotation and trading system in the over-the-counter (OTC) securities market. Pink OTC Markets operates the third largest U.S. equity trading venue, which requires strong standards for companies that fall under the Pink Sheets Current Information banner. The Current Information tier is for stronger OTC-traded companies that can satisfy financial and disclosure listing standards. Pink OTC Markets offers widespread access to all U.S. broker-dealers, enabling investors to seamlessly trade these securities through their institutional, online, or full-service brokers.

"Achieving Current Information Status with Pink OTC Markets is a major milestone in Design Marketing Concepts' overall strategy to improve shareholder value and boost liquidity for our stock. We expect that potential investors who have been following our Company will now feel more comfortable in buying shares given our higher level of transparency," stated Thomas Gaffney, CEO and President of Design Marketing Concepts, Inc.
