Hire custom branded mascots
in Costa Mesa.
Custom mascot design and performance — we design the costume, build it, and provide a trained performer who brings your brand mascot to life at activations.
OC corporate character work runs heaviest at Anaheim Resort District activations (where a portion of our character roster has prior Disneyland Resort and Universal training), Fashion Island and South Coast Plaza retail openings that want a branded mascot to anchor the crowd, and themed performers for murder mysteries and immersive corporate events at Newport and Irvine venues. Brand marketing teams use our characters for retail launches, family days hosted by employer brands, and themed corporate parties. Our OC character pool understands resort-district operational standards — character integrity, gesture, gait, and the boundary between IP-safe brand performance and trademarked properties. 100% W-2, AB-5 and AB-2257 compliant.
Common deployments: branded mascots for Anaheim Convention Center booth presence, Honda Center and Angel Stadium concourse activations, and Fashion Island retail openings.
Showcraft serves Costa Mesa and the surrounding CA area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event. Costa Mesa is OC's retail-and-arts anchor — South Coast Plaza is the highest-grossing shopping center in the western US, the Segerstrom Center for the Arts hosts a year-round cultural calendar, and the OC Fair & Event Center pulls a massive festival and trade-show run every summer. We staff brand ambassadors and demo teams for South Coast Plaza flagship openings, check-in hosts and ushers for Segerstrom Hall productions, lead-capture for OC Fairgrounds trade shows, and family-day production for the OC Fair itself (July–August). Roster runs bilingual EN/ES with strong Vietnamese pool — relevant for adjacent Little Saigon and Westminster activations. All staff are 100% W-2 and AB-5 compliant.

Questions Costa Mesa buyers ask about custom branded mascots.
Does Showcraft design custom mascots for Costa Mesa brands?+
Yes — full design-and-build. We concept the mascot with your brand team, build the costume to professional performer standards, and provide trained performers to wear it at activations in Costa Mesa and across Orange County. The mascot becomes a reusable asset you can deploy across multiple events and seasons.
Can your Costa Mesa mascot performers handle long activation shifts?+
Yes — mascot work is athletic, and our Costa Mesa performers are trained for it. Costumes are built with ventilation and cooling considerations, shifts include mandatory cool-down breaks coordinated by an on-site captain, and we typically rotate two performers across one costume on long activations to keep energy high.
What kind of Costa Mesa events use a branded mascot?+
Trade show booths (mascots pull aisle traffic), retail openings, sports activations, college campus tours, family days for brand customers, and outdoor brand activations in Orange County. Mascots work especially well at events with photo-driven content goals or kid-facing brand moments.
Are your Costa Mesa mascot performers W-2 employees?+
Yes. Every mascot performer Showcraft deploys in Costa Mesa is a W-2 employee with workers' comp, general liability, and (where applicable) auto coverage. We issue COIs naming the venue and additional insureds. In California, the structure is fully AB-5 / AB-2257 compliant.
