Hire ip licensing & custom characters
in Culver City.
We design and develop a custom character (with story, voice, and look) that your brand can deploy across multiple events and seasons.
Corporate character work in LA splits across three lanes — branded mascots at retail openings on Rodeo Drive and the Grove, costumed characters at brand family days for studio and agency clients, and themed performers (period actors, sci-fi, noir) for murder mysteries and immersive corporate experiences across DTLA and Hollywood. Showcraft's LA character roster overlaps with our working-actor pool: SAG-AFTRA performers comfortable in costume, on camera, and in front of executive audiences. Brand marketing teams at studios, CPG companies, and Westside tech book us for activations where a mascot or themed performer needs to actually perform — not just stand there. 100% W-2, AB-5 and AB-2257 compliant.
Showcraft serves Culver City and the surrounding CA area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event. Culver City has become the de facto media-and-tech hub of the Westside — Amazon Studios, Apple TV+, HBO, Sony Pictures, and TikTok all run major campuses here, and the Hayden Tract and Ivy Station mixed-use developments keep premiere-adjacent activations active year-round. We staff brand teams and lead-capture for studio premieres at Sony Pictures, demo crews for tech offsites along Hayden Avenue and at Apple's Culver City campus, family days at the Culver Steps and downtown Culver City, and red-carpet greeters for screening events at the Culver Theater. Our Culver City roster overlaps with our working-actor LA pool — comfortable on camera, briefed on studio confidentiality, and bilingual EN/ES across all roles. All staff are 100% W-2 and AB-5 compliant.

Questions Culver City buyers ask about ip licensing & custom characters.
What does IP licensing mean at Showcraft for a Culver City brand?+
We design and develop an original character — costume, story, voice, look — that your brand owns and can deploy across multiple events and seasons in Culver City and beyond. Think of it as a recurring mascot with story DNA: the same character shows up at activations across Los Angeles and builds equity over time.
What's the timeline for a custom character build for a Culver City brand?+
Full builds (concept, design, costume fabrication, performer casting, and rehearsal) run 8-16 weeks depending on complexity. Once built, the character can deploy to activations in Culver City and across Los Angeles with standard 2-3 week lead times for individual bookings.
Do we own the IP after Showcraft develops the Culver City character?+
Yes — full IP ownership transfers to your brand on delivery. Showcraft maintains the costume, casting, and performer rotations, and you can deploy the character across any market we serve, including Culver City and Los Angeles. Licensing terms are spelled out in the build agreement.
Are the performers behind your licensed characters in Culver City W-2 employees?+
Yes. Every performer who steps into a Showcraft-built licensed character in Culver City is a W-2 employee with workers' comp and general liability coverage. COIs name your brand and the activation venue. In California, the structure is fully AB-5 / AB-2257 compliant.
