History & operations
The firm has been involved in numerous prominent political campaigns; providing polling and strategy services to political parties. The clientele of the firm has historically been right wing.

Examples of political campaigns in which the firm has operated include:
 * The failed "Yes" Campaign in the 2023 Australian Referendum, also known as Yes23
 * Boris Johnson's successful London Mayoral campaign in 2008.
 * Liberal party operations and strategy for the 2010, 2013 Australian federal election, 2016 Australian federal election, and 2022 Australian federal election campaigns.
 * Campbell Newman's Liberal National Party election campaign in the 2012 Queensland election.
 * The 2012 Northern Territory election, which was won by the Country Liberal Party.
 * In 2014 the firm published polling which demonstrated that most Australians were in favour of legalising same-sex marriage. In June 2020, the firm undertook polling research in relation to the proposed Indigenous voice to Parliament; finding that a majority of Australians support a constitutionally-enshrined Voice to Parliament.
 * In 2017 British Prime Minister Theresa May announced that Crosby would play a leading role in the Conservatives' campaign for the 2017 general election. The Conservatives failed to secure an outright majority and author Hannah Jane described Crosby as running a "disastrous, horrendously negative campaign".
 * In 2019, an investigation by The Guardian revealed that to further the political objectives of its clients, C|T Group created ostensibly independent social media accounts behind adverts on Facebook to promote political ideas, such as promoting a hard Brexit which were in fact administered by employees of CTF Partners (a subsidiary).
