The handoff seam
What breaks when strategy and production are two different companies — and how to scope, brief and buy so it does not.

The problem we solve
The strategy should survive the making of the work.
We built the Captivate Framework to close that gap on purpose.
Somewhere between the deck and the delivery, the argument got thinner. Not because anyone did bad work — because the people who found the insight were not in the room when it was captured, and the people who captured it were working from a brief instead of a conviction. Nobody owns the seam, so nobody is accountable for what is lost across it.
That gap is structural, not accidental. It is what happens when strategy and production are two companies, two contracts and two calendars.
What we do
One system. Every output.
Start where the pressure is. The same accountable team carries the argument through the whole way.
The Captivate Framework
A better brief is a better body of work.
Four stages, in sequence, with no handoff between the people who decide what matters and the people who make it.

Why RMG exists
The Captivate Framework came out of a specific frustration.
Dana Reeves founded Reeves Media Group after watching the same failure repeat from both sides of it: strong strategy that arrived at production stripped of its argument, and strong production built on a brief nobody could defend. The method exists to make that handoff impossible — by removing it.

Live capture and its editorial afterlife
Events and live moments are content sources, not content deliverables. What has to be true at capture time for anything to be reusable afterwards.
