Hire ip licensing & custom characters
in Schaumburg.
We design and develop a custom character (with story, voice, and look) that your brand can deploy across multiple events and seasons.
Chicago corporate character work runs heaviest at Mag Mile and Fulton Market retail openings (where a branded mascot or themed performer anchors the launch crowd), employer-brand family days produced by Loop and North Shore corporates, and themed performers for corporate murder mysteries and immersive offsites at private River North and West Loop venues. We staff custom mascots for trade-show booth activations at McCormick Place, themed performers (period, prohibition-era, sci-fi) for corporate immersive events, and IP-safe costumed characters for Navy Pier and Wrigley family-day brand activations. Captains brief on Chicago winter outdoor realities — rotation, layering, hand-warmer protocol. All staff are 100% W-2.

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