Location based marketing and software development agency Proximity Mobile has just released the ‘Divine App’. Kevin Wilkins, the agency’s creative director, explains what it does.

It is the first mobile application in the world to use Apple’s iBeacon technology to interact with a theatrical
performance and the show’s patrons through Bluetooth Low Energy ‘Beacons’.

The Beacons provided by another leading Sydney tech company Blue Cats provides information and ticketing functionality for the performances as well as providing discounts and coupon offers from local retail establishments.

The “Divine App” promotes the three unique performances of Dante’s Divine Comedy to be held in Redfern in late August that will be translated and performed by Composer and Technologist Diego Bosco, who is also the Founder and CTO of Proximity Mobile.

Now published and hot off the press, the “Divine App” has  already received requests for listing by numerous businesses and retailers that in the coming weeks will be added to the app, just in time for the opening performance on the 21th of August.

Sydney based location based marketing and software development agency Proximity Mobile has just released in the App store the ‘Divine App’
with Beacons provided by another leading Sydney tech company Blue Cats that provides information and ticketing functionality for the performances as well as providing discounts and offers from local retail establishments, an absolute first
in Australian theatre circles.

My name is Kevin, I am a seasoned creative communicator and strategist. I love, Life, Music and all things Digital, (but not always in that order). My key strengths are a sharp analytical mind, an ability to think about objectives and challenges from a client’s perspective, as well as a lateral and strategic problem solving approach. Most importantly I like to listen first and then ask the right questions. I currently head up my own Strategic Creative Communication consultancy @sseaven, as well as being part of the executive team for mobile location based marketing company Proximity Mobile. I’ve worn many hats in my digital career, notably- Creative Director, Writer, Strategist, Innovator, Client liaison and Account manager (when called upon). I believe in a hands on approach to achieving goals and objectives and have been kindly described by fellow team members as a self-starter who is a willing and supportive creative mentor. I have been given the opportunities to work on some highly innovative creative digital campaigns and as a part of a team have won several international digital awards. Independently I have also won three ARIA awards for creativity and art direction in the Australian music industry. In regards to objectives, I would like to continue a dynamic career in digital, developing creative and innovative solutions and concepts. I also want to contribute my experience to help mentor the quality of digital creativity, innovation both in education and through innovation organisations and associations. Being incredibly passionate about creativity and innovation I want to connect with as many like-minded professionals as possible. Feel free to reach out to me to start the conversation. Specialties: Creative Direction, Social Enterprise, Communication Strategy, Digital Marketing, Digital Innovation, Mobile technologies, Proximity and Location Marketing strategy.
