SAN FRANCISCO – Yabb, social networking, and instant messaging company today announced it has acquired Fango, a leading influencer marketing platform based in San Francisco with more than 40,000 member influencers and over 1.28 billion social media reach.
“Yabb sets itself apart from other social networks as an ad-free platform,” said Kenneth Ting, Yabb’s CEO. “Gokhan Celiker and his team have built a vibrant influencer community and developed a cutting-edge platform. Gokhan is a true visionary and built Fango at a time when very few people understood the power of social influencers. This acquisition will give us a tremendous head start.”
Fango uses the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning tools to suggest which creators to collaborate with, identify audiences, track content and results.
“We look forward to seeing how Yabb leverages Fango’s technology to empower its users,” said Gokhan Celiker, Fango’s co-founder and CEO. “I will personally oversee the process to ensure a seamless transition with minimal impact on our community in these unprecedented times.”
