Overview CT Group is an international strategic research and communications consultancy with an exceptional track record delivering successful corporate and political campaigns around the world. Our work informs major corporate and political decisions. Senior Consultants work directly with experienced strategists, campaigners and intelligence specialists on issues that matter to some of the world’s leading businesses and institutions. You may be analysing how public opinion is changing around a major industry, interviewing senior political or business stakeholders, helping develop the strategy for a major campaign, or presenting research to CEOs. Research Practice Our work goes well beyond conventional market research. CT Group’s Research practice uses the ‘CT Way’ to identify the audiences that matter, understand what motivates them, and determine the messages, proof points, channels and spokespeople most likely to influence behaviour. We regularly work with senior executives, political decision-makers, regulators, investors, community leaders and other influential stakeholders, including audiences that can be difficult to reach through traditional research approaches. We deploy a full range of quantitative and qualitative methods, including large-scale public opinion research, audience segmentation, stakeholder research, in-depth interviews, focus groups, campaign evaluation and advanced analytics.
