Press Release Summary: Maryland-based debt settlement company teams up with
marketing expert.

Press Release Body: Earlier this month, Asa Williams joined Debt Shield, the
award-winning debt settlement company based in Maryland, as the company's Director
of Marketing and Advertising.

"Asa's expertise will definitely help us reach people who may need debt settlement,
but are not aware of this debt relief option," said Debt Shield President John
Gourdin. "With our economy experiencing a downturn, more and more people are finding
themselves in desperate need of help repaying their debts."

Williams is experienced in developing ad campaigns, user-friendly websites, and
easy-to-access promotional material for consumers. She plans to bring her skills to
Debt Shield with the aim of helping the company reach out to people in need of its
services.

"Understanding your audience is vital to every organization," explained Williams.
"The Debt Shield brand is synonymous with quality and people struggling with debt
deserve to learn about Debt Shield's debt settlement services."

Williams is proficient in business-to-consumer communication strategies. The early
part of her career was spent managing client relations for leading advertising
agencies. Most recently, she served as an independent marketing and advertising
consultant, and prior to that, held leadership roles within the marketing
departments of Fortune 500 companies. Williams's background includes promotions,
internal communications and public relations.

Debt settlement serves a distinct niche of people who cannot afford credit
counseling but want to avoid bankruptcy. Gourdin hopes that more insolvent consumers
can find out there is an alternative to bankruptcy.
