Hire custom branded mascots
in Queens.
Custom mascot design and performance — we design the costume, build it, and provide a trained performer who brings your brand mascot to life at activations.
NYC corporate character work runs heaviest at Fifth Avenue and Soho retail flagship openings (custom branded mascots and themed performers to anchor the opening crowd), employer-brand family days produced by Manhattan financial and media corporates, and themed performers (period, prohibition-era, noir, sci-fi) for corporate murder mysteries and immersive offsite events at private Tribeca and Meatpacking venues. We staff custom mascots for Javits booth activations, themed performers for Fashion Week brand parties, and IP-safe costumed characters for Citi Field, Yankee Stadium, and Barclays Center family-day brand activations. Most of our NYC character pool is working actors — comfortable on camera and in front of executive audiences. All staff are 100% W-2.
Common deployments: branded mascots for Madison Square Garden, Barclays Center, Yankee Stadium, and Citi Field gameday concourses, plus Javits Center trade-show booth presence and Times Square retail-corridor stunts.
Showcraft serves Queens and the surrounding NY area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event. Queens is the most demographically diverse county in the US — and operationally one of NYC's most active multilingual brand markets. Citi Field hosts the Mets and a heavy concert calendar, the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center hosts the US Open every August / September, Long Island City drives Manhattan-adjacent waterfront brand activations, and Flushing's Asian food and retail corridor anchors community-event work. We staff brand ambassadors and lead-capture for US Open sponsor activations, hospitality crews for Citi Field Mets games, demo teams for LIC waterfront launches, and bilingual EN/ES/Mandarin/Korean/Bengali/Tagalog crews for Queens community-event work. All staff are 100% W-2.

Questions Queens buyers ask about custom branded mascots.
Does Showcraft design custom mascots for Queens brands?+
Yes — full design-and-build. We concept the mascot with your brand team, build the costume to professional performer standards, and provide trained performers to wear it at activations in Queens and across New York City. The mascot becomes a reusable asset you can deploy across multiple events and seasons.
Can your Queens mascot performers handle long activation shifts?+
Yes — mascot work is athletic, and our Queens performers are trained for it. Costumes are built with ventilation and cooling considerations, shifts include mandatory cool-down breaks coordinated by an on-site captain, and we typically rotate two performers across one costume on long activations to keep energy high.
What kind of Queens events use a branded mascot?+
Trade show booths (mascots pull aisle traffic), retail openings, sports activations, college campus tours, family days for brand customers, and outdoor brand activations in New York City. Mascots work especially well at events with photo-driven content goals or kid-facing brand moments.
Are your Queens mascot performers W-2 employees?+
Yes. Every mascot performer Showcraft deploys in Queens is a W-2 employee with workers' comp, general liability, and (where applicable) auto coverage. We issue COIs naming the venue and additional insureds. In California, the structure is fully AB-5 / AB-2257 compliant.
