Hire costumed characters
in Fort Lauderdale.
Trained character performers in screen-accurate costumes for retail openings, family days, brand activations, and corporate events with kid-facing components.
Corporate character work in Broward centers on family-facing brand days: hockey-season sponsor activations at Amerant Bank Arena, Sawgrass Mills retail events, and employer family picnics across the county's office parks. The Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood adds entertainment-industry activations where themed performers work alongside production crews. It is steadier, less spike-driven work than Miami — and it books further out.
Broward corporate character work runs heaviest at Sawgrass Mills and Galleria retail openings (custom branded mascots to anchor the opening crowd), Hard Rock Hotel and Guitar Hotel brand-takeover events that want themed performers for music and entertainment activations, and themed performers for corporate murder mysteries and immersive employer-brand events in Boca Raton. Our Broward character pool is bilingual EN/ES with Portuguese and Haitian Creole sub-pools for Broward demographics. Captains run hurricane-season contingency planning and brief on outdoor heat realities for Hollywood Broadwalk and Las Olas summer activations. All staff are 100% W-2.
Fort Lauderdale is the operationally calmer half of South Florida — the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center is in the middle of an 800,000+ sq ft expansion, Boca Raton holds a real luxury-corporate corridor, and the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood pulls a steady run of music and entertainment activations. We staff brand activations along Las Olas Boulevard and the Riverwalk, Boca Raton corporate offsites at the Boca Raton Resort & Club, sports family days at Amerant Bank Arena (Florida Panthers) and BB&T Center, and luxury retail at Sawgrass Mills and the Galleria. Our Broward roster overlaps with Miami's bilingual ES/PT pool but skews older and more corporate-experienced — better fit for finance and law-firm offsites that don't want a Miami nightlife vibe.
