Add one's name to an advert? (4)

I believe the answer is:

sign

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'an advert?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'add one's name' is the wordplay.
'add one' becomes 'sig' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'sig'+'n'='SIGN'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sign that I've seen before include "Indication - put one's name down" , "Omen or indication" , "Communicate to the deaf" , "Put one's name to a document" , "Ram" .)
