Tano (https://tano.ai) is an AI-powered influencer marketing management platform and managed agency that handles the full creator partnership pipeline — from sourcing and vetting creators to managing contracts, payments, content rights, and whitelisting permissions. Brands plug in their budget and goals; Tano delivers ad-ready creator assets on TikTok and Instagram.
