Hire costumed characters
in Cupertino.
Trained character performers in screen-accurate costumes for retail openings, family days, brand activations, and corporate events with kid-facing components.
Bay Area corporate character work peaks at tech-HQ family days (Apple Park, Googleplex, Meta MPK all run major employer-brand family events) and product-launch activations that want a branded mascot or themed performer to anchor a Moscone or Convention Center booth. We staff custom mascots for partner-day events at Nvidia and Cisco, themed performers (sci-fi, retro-tech, period) for corporate murder mysteries and offsite immersives, and IP-safe costumed characters for Levi's Stadium and PayPal Park family-day brand activations. Our Bay Area character pool is multilingual-friendly and briefed on tech-campus confidentiality and photo policy realities. 100% W-2, AB-5 and AB-2257 compliant.
Showcraft serves Cupertino and the surrounding CA area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event. Cupertino is Apple Park — full stop. The Apple Park campus and Steve Jobs Theater anchor a year-round calendar of WWDC, product launches, partner days, and analyst briefings, plus the broader Vallco / Main Street Cupertino corridor pulls retail and family activity. We staff brand ambassadors and lead-capture for Apple partner days at the Steve Jobs Theater and Apple Park visitor experiences, registration and check-in for offsites at the Cupertino hotel cluster, and demo crews for the broader Apple-supplier ecosystem. Our captains are briefed specifically on Apple's confidentiality posture — NDA training, no-phones protocols, and photo-policy norms are baked into every Cupertino call sheet. Roster is heavily bilingual EN/ES with strong Mandarin and Hindi pools. All staff are 100% W-2 and AB-5 compliant.

Retail grand openings, brand activations with family-day components, trade show booth attractors, sports promotions, company family days, and corporate holiday parties in San Jose & the Bay Area. Costumed characters pull foot traffic, anchor photo moments, and add a memorable layer to brand-led events in Cupertino.
What's the difference between a Showcraft character and a Characters.io character?+
Same talent roster, different lane. Showcraft handles the corporate side — brand activations, retail openings, trade show floors, and corporate family days in Cupertino. Characters.io handles consumer and private events. The performers are W-2 employees of the same parent company, with the same vetting and training standards.
Are your Cupertino character performers trained?+
Yes — every Showcraft character performer in Cupertino is a working actor with character-performance training (movement, in-character voice work, photo-pose discipline, guest interaction). They're not random people in costume; they're vetted performers backed by Characters.io's 18-year track record.
Are your Cupertino character performers W-2 and insured?+
Yes. Every character performer Showcraft deploys in Cupertino is a W-2 employee with workers' comp and general liability coverage. We issue COIs naming the venue and additional insureds. In California, the payroll structure is fully AB-5 / AB-2257 compliant.
