When the Shark Bytes

Shark’s the name because pool's been the game. Shari Stauch competed professionally for over 20 years, helped create the Women's Pro Billiard Tour, publicized the tour and its top players, and co-wrote three pool instruction books to encourage aspiring players. In 1983, Shari and fellow pool aficionado Harold Simonsen created Pool & Billiard Magazine, and 25 years later, it's still the #1 publication for pool fans worldwide. In 2007, both Stauch and Simonsen were inducted into the Women's Pro Billiard Tour Hall of Fame. You’ll find pool & billiards to be a common theme throughout the site. Even if you didn’t drop by for a lesson, you may leave here a better player.

The Write Stuff

From pool halls to publishing houses: playing pool led to a multi-faceted career as an editor, author, promoter and publicist. Whether it’s creating a strategic plan, generating press releases or launching an entire campaign, every Shark Marketing project employs the most careful attention to detail.

Promotion in Motion

Die-hard pool players say, “Pool is like life.”
"I’m not so sure about that," says Shari, "but a winning game of pool is EXACTLY like a successful promotion."
Both begin with careful analysis. Both require strategic planning. Both demand surgical execution and meticulous follow-through.

At Shark Marketing, we always shoot straight.
