Hire ip licensing & custom characters
in Mountain View.

We design and develop a custom character (with story, voice, and look) that your brand can deploy across multiple events and seasons.

Bay Area corporate character work peaks at tech-HQ family days (Apple Park, Googleplex, Meta MPK all run major employer-brand family events) and product-launch activations that want a branded mascot or themed performer to anchor a Moscone or Convention Center booth. We staff custom mascots for partner-day events at Nvidia and Cisco, themed performers (sci-fi, retro-tech, period) for corporate murder mysteries and offsite immersives, and IP-safe costumed characters for Levi's Stadium and PayPal Park family-day brand activations. Our Bay Area character pool is multilingual-friendly and briefed on tech-campus confidentiality and photo policy realities. 100% W-2, AB-5 and AB-2257 compliant.

Showcraft serves Mountain View and the surrounding CA area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event. Mountain View is Googleplex country — Google's main campus drives a constant run of all-hands, partner days, and product-launch activations, plus Shoreline Amphitheatre and the Computer History Museum keep cultural and corporate event activity steady year-round. We staff brand ambassadors and lead-capture for Google product launches, family-day production at Shoreline Park, registration and check-in for offsites at the Computer History Museum, and demo crews for the broader 101-corridor tech HQ ecosystem. Captains brief on confidentiality, photo policy, and Google-specific on-campus logistics ahead of every load-in. Roster runs heavily bilingual EN/ES with strong Mandarin, Hindi, and Tagalog pools. All staff are 100% W-2 and AB-5 compliant.

FAQ · IP LICENSING & CUSTOM CHARACTERS in MOUNTAIN VIEW

Questions Mountain View buyers ask about ip licensing & custom characters.

What does IP licensing mean at Showcraft for a Mountain View 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 Mountain View and beyond. Think of it as a recurring mascot with story DNA: the same character shows up at activations across San Jose & the Bay Area and builds equity over time.

What's the timeline for a custom character build for a Mountain View 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 Mountain View and across San Jose & the Bay Area with standard 2-3 week lead times for individual bookings.

Do we own the IP after Showcraft develops the Mountain View 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 Mountain View and San Jose & the Bay Area. Licensing terms are spelled out in the build agreement.

Are the performers behind your licensed characters in Mountain View W-2 employees?+

Yes. Every performer who steps into a Showcraft-built licensed character in Mountain View 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.
