Onboarding & Activation

Get marketing in the moment.


    The speed at which you onboard and activate customer data makes the difference between delivering experiences customers want — or outdated and irrelevant messages they want to ignore. Signal’s continuous onboarding and real-time media activation allows you to target the right people at the right time, reducing ad waste while dramatically increasing the relevance of your advertising.
