As the final golden days of summer lit up the Gold Coast skyline, Australian content creator Rebecca McLeod and proved she’s not just rising through the digital ranks but redefining what an influencer event can look like. Teaming up with long-time best friend and social media powerhouse Shammi, the duo hosted what many are calling one of the biggest influencer parties Australia has ever seen.
With over four million followers, Shammi is already cemented as one of the country’s most recognisable online personalities. Meanwhile, Rebecca continues her rapid climb, recently surpassing one million followers across her platforms. Together, their combined reach and creative vision turned an already ambitious idea into a full-scale spectacle.
A Grand Entrance, Literally

True to their larger-than-life style, Rebecca and Shammi didn’t just arrive. They made an entrance. The pair flew directly into the event by chopper, landing as over 200 guests watched in anticipation. From that second on, everyone knew this wasn’t your average influencer party.

The American-style pool party theme transformed the venue into a full-blown summer playground. Think dunk tanks, mechanical bulls, luxury car displays by Luxury Rentals Australia, full-pool foam activations, gas-powered merchandise cannons, slushy machines, popcorn and fairy floss stations, and beer handstand games, all soundtracked by live DJs powered by Soundworx.

Sponsors including Folly’s, South Ave, Gee Up, and Kami Kaze ensured drinks flowed all afternoon, keeping the vibe electric as summer sunshine poured over the crowd.
The Party Didn’t Stop There

When the sun dipped, the celebration rolled on. Two party buses from Bus Tour Rhymes transported 60 guests to the official after-party at The Play Zone Gold Coast.
Inside, the energy only intensified. With an unlimited drink tab, guests took on mechanical bulls, dove into ball pits, hit the dance poles, and kept the music pumping well into the night. The transition from poolside glam to neon-lit afterparty chaos perfectly captured the duo’s signature style: bold, playful, and unapologetically fun.
