We're proud to announce that Peppered CMS now supports over 100 cultural venues worldwide. This milestone reflects the growing need for sustainable digital solutions in the cultural sector and validates the power of community-driven innovation.
With over 20 years of industry experience, we've evolved from traditional website building to pioneering a more sustainable approach. Our Peppered platform combines a powerful CMS, digital signage solutions, and mailing tools into a centralised hub, designed specifically for the unique needs of cultural venues.
Recent partnerships with prestigious institutions including Lowry, Queens Theatre New York, Leeds Film, Leeds Museums & Galleries, and Schouwburg Cuijk have helped us reach this significant milestone. Each new partnership enriches our community's collective knowledge and contributes to the platform's evolution.
"This milestone isn't about numbers – it's about the power of collaboration," says Coen van der Poll, CultureSuite CEO. "Every venue in our community brings unique insights that help shape our platform's development. When one venue suggests an improvement, the entire community benefits from it—and even builds upon it."
This collaborative approach has driven significant innovations. Our regular three-week update cycle ensures that community-suggested features – from ticket sharing to advanced digital signage capabilities – are quickly shared across all venues. It's this commitment to shared growth that has helped us establish long-term partnerships, some spanning decades.
The traditional approach to cultural websites often led to a cycle of rebuild and decay, with venues investing significant resources every few years. We've created a more sustainable model where venues become part of a community that continuously evolves together.
Our integration capabilities with ticketing systems like Spektrix, Tessitura and Tixly, ERP software like Yesplan and Salesforce and many more partners mean venues can automate processes that were previously manual, freeing up resources for what matters most – creating exceptional cultural experiences.
"We're seeing a fundamental shift in how cultural organisations approach digital transformation," reveals Coen. "Rather than rebuilding websites every few years, venues are looking for sustainable solutions that grow with them. Our community model means every venue benefits from shared innovation, leaving more time and budget to focus on their unique identity."
As we look ahead, this milestone represents more than growth in numbers – it validates our belief in the power of community-driven development. With cultural organisations increasingly seeking sustainable digital solutions in the face of tough economic challenges, we're committed to continuing our collaborative approach to innovation, ensuring our platform evolves alongside the sector's needs.
