Hire ip licensing & custom characters
in West Hollywood.
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.

West Hollywood is the Sunset Strip — the densest run of beauty, fashion, and nightlife brand activations in LA County. We staff brand ambassadors and demo teams for beauty launches along Melrose and Santa Monica Boulevard, check-in hosts and runway models for fashion shows at venues like Sunset Room and Goya Studios, bottle-service-trained event hosts for The Sunset Tower, and red-carpet greeters for premieres and after-parties at the London West Hollywood and Pendry. Our WeHo roster skews on-camera-comfortable and runway-experienced, with bilingual EN/ES across roles and a meaningful French and Italian pool for international fashion-house launches. All staff are 100% W-2 and AB-5 compliant.

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