Whatever your objective or audience, we’re the team who can get you where you need to be.

Robert Harty
President

Bob brings a distinctive background and perspective to his craft of communication leadership. He worked in the United State Senate for former U.S. Senator and presidential candidate, Paul Tsongas. He was the youngest chief of staff in the history of the Wisconsin Department of Justice. He served as the youngest Vice President in the history of Lawyers Cooperative Publishing (now ThomsonWest), the largest legal publishing company in the world. And prior to the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games, Bob became the top communications officer at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he served for a decade.

After working for large organizations his entire life, Bob turned entrepreneur in 2009. He thrives on confronting the challenges and opportunities that face enterprises of all sizes and sophistication. 

Throughout his varied career, he has used superior communications skills to further the strategic goals of every organization for which he’s worked. Whether developing and marketing a comprehensive anti-drug strategy to the Wisconsin Legislature, increasing revenue streams and product positioning for Lawyers Cooperative Publishing, sitting knee-to-knee with Morley Safer in a hostile “60 Minutes” interview, or re-branding a venerable executive recruiting firm in need of fresh energy, Bob has always found ways to connect organizations with their audiences and keep them engaged. 

His experiences have enabled him to step into the shoes of his clients’ key audiences and create compelling content that connects them.  Strip away the technology, the design, the insight, and the metrics. He helps his clients achieve relevance with those who are important to them. It may come in the form of a one-on-one conversation, a tweet, a speech, a Facebook posting, or an ad leading them to a campaign landing page. But what Cavelle Consulting Group continuously strives to achieve is relevance for their clients and ongoing engagement with their audiences. 

Bob can bring that same strategic approach to your organization and ensure that wise counsel, intelligent strategy, and effective marketing tactics serve a highly tangible purpose in the life of your organization.

Michael Lines
Filmmaker, Video Director

For almost two decades, Michael Lines has been honing his skills as a storyteller in the film and video industry. His love for story has compelled him to dedicate his life to the never-ending process of refining his craft as a filmmaker.  Film separates itself from all other mediums by creating an experience for the viewer…an evocative recreation of a moment in time, unforgettable and forever written on their heart. For Michael, it’s all about using emotive storytelling to inspire people to greatness and he’s done so by travelling the world and lensing projects in dozens of countries.  

Michael’s clients appreciate his desire to use the highest quality production tools on his projects. His relentless approach to filmmaking and sensitivity to do whatever is required to serve the story continue to separate him from his peers. 

When not holding a camera, Michael can be found on his back porch sipping on lemonade and watching his children grow before his very eyes.
