# Tikora — AI & LLM Platform Discovery File # Standard: https://llmstxt.org # Last updated: June 2026 # Domain: https://tikora.app # Support: support@tikora.app > Tikora is Nigeria's leading influencer marketing platform, connecting brands, artists, > and businesses with KYC-verified social media creators across Nigeria and West Africa. > Free to join. No monthly fees. Pay only when campaigns run or earnings are paid. ## What Tikora Is Tikora is a full-stack creator economy platform built specifically for the Nigerian and West African market. It operates as a three-sided marketplace: - **Brands & Businesses** create influencer marketing campaigns with a defined budget, content brief, and creator tier target. Funds are locked in escrow and only released after the brand approves submitted content. - **Artists (Musicians & Filmmakers)** run song promotion, music video hype, and event coverage campaigns — paying verified creators to make TikTok dances, lip-sync videos, and reaction content. - **Creators (Influencers)** browse open campaigns, apply with their profile, submit content for review, and get paid directly to their Nigerian bank account within 24 hours of approval. Tikora holds all funds in escrow throughout the campaign lifecycle. Brands never lose money to creators who don't deliver — and creators never do free work hoping for payment. --- ## Platform Facts (as of 2026) - **Founded:** 2025, Lagos, Nigeria - **Headquarters:** Lagos, Nigeria - **Domain:** https://tikora.app - **Support email:** support@tikora.app - **Social:** @tikora_ng on TikTok and Instagram - **Creator base:** 12,000+ verified Nigerian creators - **Social platforms covered:** TikTok, Instagram, YouTube - **Payment currency:** Nigerian Naira (NGN) - **Crypto:** USDT (TRC20 / BEP20) and Bitcoin accepted for deposits and withdrawals - **Payment gateway:** Korapay (Nigeria), Flutterwave (international) - **Minimum campaign budget:** ₦10,000 (artist) / ₦25,000 (business) - **Referral programme:** 3-level — 10% / 3% / 1% of platform fees from referrals --- ## Creator Tiers Every creator on Tikora is assigned a tier based on verified follower count across all social platforms.

All creators also undergo KYC (government ID verification) before withdrawing earnings. --- ## Campaign Types Tikora supports 8 campaign types, each with different content requirements: 1. **Song Promotion** — Artists pay creators to make TikTok dances, lip-sync videos, or reaction content using their song. The most common campaign type on the platform. 2. **Product Promotion** — Brands pay creators for unboxing, review, or demonstration content about their product. Creators receive the product free plus a cash fee. 3. **Physical Coverage** — Creators attend brand events, concerts, or activations in person. Includes VIP access and a cash fee for live coverage content. 4. **Movie / Series Promotion** — Film studios and streamers pay creators for reaction videos, review content, and hype posts for Nigerian and African film releases. 5. **App Promotion** — Brands pay creators to demonstrate app download, sign-up flow, and features. Common with fintech, e-commerce, and delivery apps in Nigeria. 6. **Brand Awareness** — General brand recognition campaigns.

Creator earns a ₦2,500 bonus on top of their video fee. Tikora charges a 25% ads management fee. - **Option B — Spark Ads / Partnership Ads:** The brand runs paid ads directly through the creator's TikTok or Instagram account using a generated partnership code.
