ABOUT SHARK BRANDING SOLUTIONS
Shark Branding Solutions is a strategic growth firm built to align visibility, authority, and revenue.
We operate as an extension of our clients’ executive teams, providing fractional CMO leadership while overseeing integrated execution across advertising, public relations, digital strategy, and reputation management. Every initiative is guided by data, disciplined budget allocation, and measurable outcomes.
Our approach eliminates vendor fragmentation. Clients gain a unified partner capable of coordinating existing teams or executing through our own connected global network of more than 550 marketing, media, and technology professionals across three countries.
This structure allows us to support businesses of all sizes, from growth stage companies to established organizations expanding into new markets. Whether the objective is local dominance or national visibility, we focus on reducing friction in the sales process and accelerating revenue through structured strategy and decisive execution.
We do not believe in marketing for activity. We believe in marketing that moves revenue.
Meet Our Founder


Michelle Stanaland (Carter)
CEO
Michelle Stanaland founded Shark Branding Solutions to solve a problem she saw repeatedly in the market: businesses were investing in marketing without strategic oversight.
Named one of the Top 15 Marketing Experts in Tampa Bay in 2025, Michelle brings executive level growth leadership to every engagement. She is not a distant figurehead. She personally leads high level strategy, positioning, and reputation architecture for the companies the firm represents.
Throughout her career, Michelle has positioned brands in front of millions, engineered visibility campaigns that accelerate traction, and built structured marketing systems that make sales easier to close.
Her leadership combines authority building, disciplined budget control, and integrated execution. Clients gain not just a marketing agency, but a strategic partner who understands how perception influences revenue.
When growth matters and visibility must convert, Michelle leads the strategy.
