Florida Business Broker Michael Shea Engages Exponential Media to Expand Seller Lead Generation and Digital Marketing
Strategic partnership will focus on social media marketing, seller lead generation, and professional video content to strengthen Shea’s presence across the Florida business-for-sale market.
FLORIDA — August 11, 2026 — Michael Shea, a leading Florida business broker, has engaged Exponential Media to lead an expanded digital marketing initiative focused on reaching business owners who are considering selling their companies.
The partnership will combine strategic social media marketing, seller lead generation, and video marketing to increase Shea’s visibility among Florida business owners and create new opportunities to connect with qualified prospective sellers.
As an experienced business broker serving the Florida market, Shea works with entrepreneurs and business owners navigating one of the most important financial decisions of their lives: preparing, positioning, and ultimately selling their businesses.
The new marketing initiative is designed to make that expertise more accessible to business owners throughout Florida.
Building a Stronger Digital Presence for Business Sellers
Exponential Media will develop and execute a multi-channel marketing strategy centered around three primary areas:
Seller Lead Generation: Digital campaigns designed to connect Michael Shea with Florida business owners who may be considering an exit, retirement, relocation, or the sale of their company.
Social Media Marketing: Consistent educational and authority-building content designed to increase Shea’s visibility and establish stronger connections with Florida's business community.
Video Marketing: Professional educational and promotional video content addressing the questions business owners commonly have about valuations, preparing a company for sale, finding qualified buyers, confidentiality, deal structure, and navigating the transaction process.
The strategy will place a particular emphasis on education rather than simply advertising businesses for sale.
Many successful business owners have spent years—or even decades—building their companies but have never sold a business before. Questions surrounding valuation, confidentiality, timing, taxes, buyer qualification, financing, and preparing for due diligence can make the process difficult to navigate without experienced guidance.
Through the new campaign, Shea will use digital and video content to help Florida business owners better understand that process before they decide to enter the market.
Reaching Florida Business Owners Before They're Ready to Sell
A major component of the initiative will focus on reaching business owners earlier in their exit-planning journey.
Rather than waiting until an owner has already decided to sell, the campaigns will provide educational resources for entrepreneurs who may be six months, a year, or several years away from a potential transaction.
This approach can give owners additional time to understand what drives business value, identify potential weaknesses, improve financial presentation, prepare documentation, and position their companies more effectively for a future sale.

A Modern Approach to Business Brokerage Marketing
The way business owners research a potential sale has changed dramatically.
Owners increasingly begin their research online—often long before contacting a broker. They search questions about what their business may be worth, how long a sale takes, whether employees will find out, how buyers are qualified, and what they should do before putting their company on the market.
The partnership between Shea and Exponential Media is designed to meet those owners during that research process with educational content and direct access to experienced brokerage guidance.
By combining Shea's experience in the Florida business market with Exponential Media's digital marketing infrastructure, the initiative aims to create a stronger pipeline of qualified seller conversations while providing valuable information to business owners considering their next chapter.
