When the Shark Bytes

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

The Write Stuff

From pool halls to the 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 a press release or launching an entire campaign, Shari can usually be found clacking away in the blue-gray glow of the MacBook, reaching for just the right words for the “write” project. Every Shark Marketing project employs this hands-on touch and 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.
