ATLANTA, Sept. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Canto, a leader in AI-powered digital asset management (DAM), today announced a wave of AI-powered platform releases designed to help marketing and creative teams do more with their digital content. The launches coincide with 35 G2 badges, including Best Results across enterprise digital asset management, brand asset management and product information management, and recognition as Digital Asset Management Platform of the Year in the 2026 MarTech Breakthrough Awards.
The three releases Canto shipped this summer are designed to reduce the manual work that slows teams down. AI Bulk Update Assistant handles bulk catalog changes and asset updates in a fraction of the time, without leaving the platform. Product Hub MCP gives AI assistants a live connection to product data so teams can access approved content in real time, without manually passing assets between systems. AI Portals is a complete reimagining of how teams distribute and share branded content, built with AI-assisted setup, a drag-and-drop creative editor, and AI-powered asset curation to replace complex, manual portal setup.
“At Canto, we are not just building software. We are building technology that helps real teams do great work, leveraging the most advanced capabilities available. AI should amplify your creativity, not add to the pile of things to manage. That is what we are committed to, and you are already seeing it in action,” said Wain Kellum, CEO, Canto.
The G2 Fall 2026 report confirmed the momentum with customers. Canto earned Best Results badges across enterprise digital asset management, brand asset management and product information management, along with Best Usability for enterprise digital asset management and Fastest Implementation for enterprise product information management. The company also ranked #1 on the Small-Business Grid for digital asset management. Together, the results span multiple categories, customer segments and regions, reflecting strong customer endorsement across both Canto’s core DAM platform and its growing product content management capabilities.
“Canto’s AI metadata tagging makes organizing and managing content easy, and the portals save me so much time. I don’t need a whole team to manage everything anymore,” said Sheena Wagaman, Innovation & Operations Director, Superbloom.
Canto was also named Digital Asset Management Platform of the Year in the 9th annual 2026 MarTech Breakthrough Awards, which recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global marketing, sales and advertising technology industry. The program is conducted by Tech Breakthrough and evaluates hundreds of nominations across the marketing technology landscape each year.
