Tessitura, the nonprofit technology provider dedicated to the success of arts and culture organizations, today announced the renewal and expansion of its longstanding partnership with InstantEncore, a leading provider of mobile app solutions for audience engagement.

Through this expanded partnership, Tessitura members will continue to benefit from InstantEncore’s mobile platform, which makes it easy to manage app content and communications while allowing advanced customization for organizations that want more control of their design.

“InstantEncore has been a trusted partner to our community for more than a decade,” said Rebecca Herberson, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at Tessitura. “Its dedication to serving arts and culture organizations aligns strongly with our mission. We are excited to deepen our partnership as we help organizations create connected end-to-end audience experiences.”

For Tessitura members, the InstantEncore platform offers:

• Flexible content management: Easily update custom pages in real time, making information immediately accessible to audiences
• Full brand customization: Tailor app design and functionality to match the organization’s brand and audience experience
• Tessitura integration: Support ticket access, membership cards, event information, login and other key workflows within the app

InstantEncore is known for its hands-on support, helping organizations successfully launch and grow their mobile engagement strategies. InstantEncore also collaborates with other members of the Tessitura partner ecosystem, including L2 and True Tickets, to create more connected audience experiences.

“We are proud to reaffirm our partnership with Tessitura and continue our shared commitment to serving arts and culture organizations,” said Nancy Trigg, CEO of InstantEncore. “Audience expectations have changed. People live on their phones, and arts organizations need tools that let them connect in that environment. Together with Tessitura, we are making mobile engagement simple, powerful and accessible for organizations and the audiences they serve.”
