Hire ip licensing & custom characters
in Pasadena.
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 Pasadena and the surrounding CA area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event. Pasadena is the cultural anchor of the San Gabriel Valley — Rose Bowl Stadium hosts UCLA football, the College Football Playoff, and major brand activations year-round, the Pasadena Convention Center pulls a steady trade-show calendar, and Old Pasadena's Colorado Boulevard corridor keeps retail activations and the Tournament of Roses Parade in constant motion. We staff brand ambassadors and lead-capture for Convention Center trade shows, family-day production at the Rose Bowl, walking-tour and sampling teams along Old Pasadena and South Lake Avenue, and red-carpet greeters for events at the Pasadena Playhouse. Roster runs bilingual EN/ES with strong Mandarin and Armenian pools — relevant for the actual demographics of the SGV. All staff are 100% W-2 and AB-5 compliant.

Questions Pasadena buyers ask about ip licensing & custom characters.
What does IP licensing mean at Showcraft for a Pasadena 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 Pasadena 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 Pasadena 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 Pasadena and across Los Angeles with standard 2-3 week lead times for individual bookings.
Do we own the IP after Showcraft develops the Pasadena 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 Pasadena and Los Angeles. Licensing terms are spelled out in the build agreement.
Are the performers behind your licensed characters in Pasadena W-2 employees?+
Yes. Every performer who steps into a Showcraft-built licensed character in Pasadena 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.
