Founder & CEO

Top 15 Marketing Expert in Tampa BayInfluence Digest, 2025

Michelle Stanaland is a recognized marketing strategist and AI visibility expert serving businesses across Tampa Bay. In 2025, she was named one of the Top 15 Marketing Experts in Tampa Bay by Influence Digest, a recognition of her commitment to results over rhetoric.

Before founding Shark Branding Solutions, Michelle observed a consistent pattern: talented, hardworking business owners were losing customers not because of their product or service, but because they couldn’t be found. As AI search platforms changed how buyers discover businesses, the gap between visible and invisible grew wider, and she built a firm to close it.

Based in Wesley Chapel, Michelle works directly with clients across Lutz, Land O’ Lakes, St. Petersburg, and the wider Tampa Bay area, bringing enterprise-level AI strategy to local businesses that deserve to compete.
