When it comes to lobbying activity, most definitely.
Groups of companies with overlapping areas of concern or influence have had “quasi-coordinated”lobbying efforts since the 60s; groups such as oil and petro-product producers, advertising agencies, healthcare system administrators, auto-producers, and most critically financial services companies,etc. Of course the nature and degree of that coordination has changed over time.
Beyond lobbying, I’m sure you’d find that while perhaps not coordinated per se, a lot of technology PAC donations go to the same places, as do donations to certain foundations, research entities and non-profits. This may have to do with common interests between them, but there’s a social component also - the individuals who make these sorts of decisions industry to industry are likely to be familiar with one another, and may observe industry influencers to triangulate their own activity.
I think the more important question is “is this political coordination good or bad.” That’s also a very interesting and polarizing conversation.
Anyway, hope this helps.

With what happened with Parler, yes. At least in some circumstances.
Fair enough and appreciate everything staying civil and on-topic.
Have a good week
