Description

Samba is a media intelligence company. We know what the world is watching, reading, and thinking about — in real time, at scale, across every screen. Our data exists with the consent of over a billion people, organized into the most complete picture of consumer attention ever built. The biggest brands in the world use that picture to make smarter decisions. We think it’s the most interesting data asset on the planet, because it’s the most culturally relevant.

Harvesting sits in Core division that fuels everything else at Samba. The raw viewership and ad data other teams turn into reports, licensing products, and measurement.

It's not a new team or a green-field bet: the ads-harvesting pipeline came into Samba through a December 2018 acquisition and has been running, and growing, every year since. Today it operates across nine-plus countries - Australia, the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, the US, Canada, Mexico, Brazil - and adds more as Samba expands.

Three products live here: Ads Harvesting, which pulls ads out of live TV streams and builds the commercial schedules behind Samba's Ad Exposure product; CloudR, which fingerprints what's playing on Netflix, Amazon Prime, and HBO Max to know what people actually watched; and Logo Schedule, a new AI model that tracks brand-logo exposure on screen, still in alpha, with real market interest already.

None of this goes direct to advertisers; the team's customers are internal - data licensing, product - who take this raw data and build what eventually reaches companies like Google and Amazon.
