SINGAPORE, Nov. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In the past decade, social media marketing has undergone one transformation after another — from desktop-driven campaigns to mobile-first content, from post scheduling to algorithm-driven engagement strategies. Yet, even as the industry evolves, one critical gap has remained: marketers are still relying on desktop-based tools to manage platforms that were designed for mobile. GeeLark, a next-generation cloud-phone platform, is closing this gap and redefining how brands, creators, and agencies operate in a mobile-native world.
GeeLark’s cloud phones
Traditional social media management tools are great for scheduling posts, tracking analytics, and engaging with comments, but they fall short where it now matters most — the mobile experience. They can’t truly replicate what it’s like to operate inside a mobile app, which makes them less effective in today’s mobile-driven social media marketing landscape. Many of the fastest-growing social media platforms, especially TikTok, are designed to work best within their native mobile apps.
GeeLark bridges this divide by introducing cloud phones, fully functional Android devices hosted in the cloud. Each cloud phone behaves like a real physical smartphone, complete with unique device fingerprints and customizable geolocations. Through GeeLark, users can control hundreds of cloud phones at once at their will. Instead of being limited by desktop tools, they can run accounts directly in the mobile app and access app features that aren’t available on the web or through APIs. Most importantly, they can generate the real behavioral signals that social algorithms rely on.
This innovation opens new possibilities for marketers who rely on mobile-native platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, WhatsApp, or Telegram. With GeeLark, teams can manage dozens or even hundreds of mobile accounts simultaneously all from a single dashboard, without the hassle of owning or maintaining physical devices.
Beyond streamlined account management, GeeLark also acts as an end-to-end content engine, bringing creation, distribution, and engagement together in one platform. With integrated AIGC models like Veo3, Seedance, and Nano Banana, users can generate, edit, and manage content directly inside GeeLark without switching tools. And when it’s time to publish, its RPA automation makes distribution effortless. It can auto-post across multiple accounts on any social media platform, but that’s only the beginning. The system can also automate liking, commenting, logging in, and virtually any action that would normally be performed inside a mobile app.
With GeeLark, marketers can instantly launch new campaigns, share accounts and workflows with team members, automate repetitive tasks, switch between global regions, and amplify their content more effectively. This level of flexibility makes global testing simple, speeds up A/B experiments across different markets, and allows app-based campaigns to grow without the need for physical devices.
The rise of cloud phones marks more than a technical milestone; it represents a strategic evolution. As social media continues shifting toward mobile-native algorithms, real-time trends, and multi-region growth, marketers need tools built for this new reality. GeeLark marks a turning point: it’s a platform that’s not just supporting social media marketing, but redefining it.
Ho Kwon Ping, Founder and Executive Chairman of Banyan Group, discusses how the China‑Japan rift is impacting travel and hospitality between the two countries, noting that China’s “weaponization” of tourism mirrors U.S. tactics. He also talks about the group’s milestone with the launch of its 100th property.

Chess.com, MOONTON Games and SNK join as Official Publishers, alongside Founding Publishers and video game companies EA, Krafton, Tencent, and Ubisoft – the core partners developing the foundational structure of the ENC – bringing with them their iconic titles, global reach, and player communities to enhance the first Esports Nations Cup.
The three new publishers and all forthcoming Official Publishers will co-design qualification paths and competition formats for their respective titles — ensuring integrity, competitive relevance, and a consistent global structure.
The EWCF and its Founding Publishers continue to co-develop the ENC to establish the tournament’s foundational framework, structure, and format from inception, representing a deeper level of strategic partnership and commitment than other publishers.
“By partnering closely with publishers, we can make the Esports Nations Cup truly player-centric, and give players the opportunity to represent their country in the games that define their careers,” said Ralf Reichert, CEO of the Esports World Cup Foundation. “With the seven partners announced so far as close collaborators, we can activate players worldwide and deliver a Nations Cup that feels earned for players and real for fans, and build a stage that national teams can aspire to for years to come.”
As the newest addition to the EWCF portfolio, the Esports Nations Cup builds on the momentum of the Esports World Cup — the world’s largest multi-title esports event — and extends its mission to a new layer of global competition. While the Esports World Cup unites the best clubs, the ENC unlocks a new frontier powered by national identity and regional representation.
The ENC will feature national teams from all major regions – including North America, South America, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia and Oceania – competing in both team-based and solo-player formats. A multi-layered qualification model will balance competitiveness and inclusivity: combining global rankings, regional qualifiers, and wildcard entries, including solidarity placements, to ensure a broad and representative competitive stage in every game.
The Esports Nations Cup will debut in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in November 2026, before moving to a rotating host model, bringing national esports teams to fans and cultures worldwide. Held every two years, the ENC will provide a dependable structure for players and esports organisations, encouraging long-term investment in national team programmes.

One of the most ambitious homes ever built in Australia is set to go under the hammer this week, with former AFL player turned tech millioniare Brad Moran to auction his extravagant 10-bedroom, 11-bathroom mega mansion in the Gold Coast hinterland.

The Estate is scheduled to be auctioned on November 28 after a five-week global campaign led by Kollosche agents Michael Kollosche and Jamie Harrison.
The property is listed without a price guide but, as Moran revealed to The Australian Financial Review, the renovation cost upwards of $20 million.

Mr Kollosche said The Estate stood among the most significant private homes ever offered to the Queensland market.
“This is not just a home, it’s an architectural statement of precision and passion,” Mr Kollosche.

“The owner’s meticulous eye for detail and commitment to excellence are unmatched.
“Every element has been executed to perfection, creating a residence that sets a new benchmark for luxury living in Queensland.

“It’s a property you need to walk through to fully appreciate.”
Positioned on an elevated 8,888 square metre block with coastline and skyline views, Moran and his wife Alicia purchased the property for $7 million in 2021.

That same year, Moran, 39, sold his retail media platform CitrusAd to French advertising giant Publicis Groupe for a reported $205 million.
It held the suburb record until June this year following the $7.75 million sale of a high-end four-bedroom home, known as the James Bond house, at 453 The Panorama.
The couple, who share three children, spent four years transforming the property into the ultimate family home.
Comprising 10 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, and 13 car spaces, the 1,900 square metre main residence spans living, entertaining and wellness wings across three levels.

The Estate, located 15 minutes from Broadbeach and 25 minutes from Gold Coast Airport, also has three self-contained guest houses.
Action-packed features include an outdoor fun park with a 110-metre go-kart track, a golf driving range, and a basketball court, all connected by a golf-buggy track.

“When I first bought the property, it had scale but lacked cohesion and elements that I would consider modern day ultra luxury,” Mr Moran said.
“I lived in it to understand how it moved and breathed, what I liked, didn’t, and how I would improve it.

“What began as a renovation became a complete rebuild, I wanted to push every boundary of what was possible.”
Making a grand impression on arrival, the property’s circular driveway entrance features 75,000 hand-laid cobblestones.

“Every space had to have its own unique experience, something worth talking about, whether it’s architecture, technology, materials or just enjoying the view,” he said.
A historic gold ring from the English countryside will go under the hammer this month — and experts believe it may be linked to one of the most infamous conspiracies in British history.
The piece of jewelry was uncovered by metal detectorist Andrew Rose, who found it six inches in the ground in Bushwood, Warwickshire, about 20 miles southeast of Birmingham.
The artifact features an inner inscription reading “Your Frende in Deede,” a message thought to symbolize loyalty.
The 16th-century band may be tied to the 1605 Gunpowder Plot, an attempt by English Catholics to blow up the Houses of Parliament and kill King James I.
James I’s court got wind of the plans and eventually located Guy Fawkes hiding among 36 barrels of gunpowder on Nov. 5 — foiling the plot.

Though the Gunpowder Plot is remembered through Fawkes and the rhyme “Remember, remember the fifth of November,” the mastermind behind the scheme was actually Robert Catesby.
Rose found the ring near Bushwood Hall, where Catesby was born, as news agency SWNS reported.
The hall was also used as a hideout and weapons storage facility for the conspirators.

“The hall where Catesby was born can only be accessed down a track, which means it is even more likely the ring, which was found only yards from the moat, was connected to the hall or was owned by someone who lived there,” Rose told SWNS.
He added, “The words ‘in deede’ suggest [that] whoever gave the ring was prepared to prove his loyalty in actions rather than just words. It was a great find and hugely exciting.“
The ring is expected to sell for as much as $15,800 when it goes to auction. (SWNS)
The ring is expected to fetch up to £12,000 (about $15,800) when it’s auctioned on Nov. 27, Hanson Auctioneers said.
Speaking to SWNS, auctioneer Charles Hanson noted that the local area had a considerable Catholic population at the time of the Gunpowder Plot.
“Guy Fawkes, Catesby and their network — many of whom were related by blood or marriage — moved between safe houses in the Midlands,” said Hanson. “They were protected by the region’s large Catholic base, which, like them, [were] against the king.”

“Given the remoteness of the hall’s location, its link to Catesby [and] the date and inscription of the ring, it is tantalizing to imagine it belonging to one of the plotters,” he added.
