Sovrn's Signal product is an on-page measurement and data enrichment tool designed to help publishers increase the value of their ad inventory. In the interview, Peter Cunha, Managing Director of Signal at Sovrn, explains that the product enhances bid requests by incorporating attention metrics, dynamic floor pricing, and identity signals to improve ad performance. Signal originated from Sovrn’s acquisition of OnScroll, a company that pioneered viewable engaged time as an early attention metric. Sovrn differentiates itself by eliminating revenue share on its SSP and instead charging publishers a volumetric CPM fee only when Signal improves yield. The conversation also touches on the growing role of attention-based advertising, the challenges of industry adoption, and why major platforms like Google and Amazon don’t offer similar data transparency to publishers.
