Hire costumed characters
in San Bernardino.
Trained character performers in screen-accurate costumes for retail openings, family days, brand activations, and corporate events with kid-facing components.
IE corporate character work runs heaviest at brand family days produced by employer brands in the logistics and healthcare corridor, retail openings at Victoria Gardens and Galleria at Tyler that want a branded mascot to anchor a crowd, and themed performers for festival sponsor activations at Coachella, Stagecoach, and BNP Paribas Open. Our IE character pool is bilingual EN/ES heavy — important for community-facing brand activations across San Bernardino and Riverside counties — and includes custom mascot performers comfortable with extended outdoor shifts in IE summer heat. Captains run mandatory hydration and rotation cycles. 100% W-2, AB-5 and AB-2257 compliant.

We staff brand ambassadors and lead-capture for Glen Helen festival activations, family-day production at the National Orange Show Events Center, registration and check-in for corporate offsites along the I-215 corridor, and bilingual EN/ES community-activation crews across the city. Our IE roster is one of our most heavily bilingual — strong fit for community-focused brand work across San Bernardino and Riverside counties. All staff are 100% W-2 and AB-5 compliant.
