Hire ip licensing & custom characters
in Garden Grove.
We design and develop a custom character (with story, voice, and look) that your brand can deploy across multiple events and seasons.
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.

Questions Garden Grove buyers ask about ip licensing & custom characters.
What does IP licensing mean at Showcraft for a Garden Grove 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 Garden Grove and beyond. Think of it as a recurring mascot with story DNA: the same character shows up at activations across Orange County and builds equity over time.
What's the timeline for a custom character build for a Garden Grove 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 Garden Grove and across Orange County with standard 2-3 week lead times for individual bookings.
Do we own the IP after Showcraft develops the Garden Grove 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 Garden Grove and Orange County. Licensing terms are spelled out in the build agreement.
Are the performers behind your licensed characters in Garden Grove W-2 employees?+
Yes. Every performer who steps into a Showcraft-built licensed character in Garden Grove 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.
