Hire ip licensing & custom characters
in Huntington Beach.
We design and develop a custom character (with story, voice, and look) that your brand can deploy across multiple events and seasons.
OC corporate character work runs heaviest at Anaheim Resort District activations (where a portion of our character roster has prior Disneyland Resort and Universal training), Fashion Island and South Coast Plaza retail openings that want a branded mascot to anchor the crowd, and themed performers for murder mysteries and immersive corporate events at Newport and Irvine venues. Brand marketing teams use our characters for retail launches, family days hosted by employer brands, and themed corporate parties. Our OC character pool understands resort-district operational standards — character integrity, gesture, gait, and the boundary between IP-safe brand performance and trademarked properties. 100% W-2, AB-5 and AB-2257 compliant.
Showcraft serves Huntington Beach and the surrounding CA area with 100% W-2 talent, full insurance, and senior captains on every event. Huntington Beach — Surf City USA — is OC's surf-culture and festival anchor. The US Open of Surfing (late July / early August) takes over the pier, the Vans US Open of Surfing village runs as a 9-day brand-activation gauntlet, and the Pacific City and Main Street corridors host steady retail and dining activations year-round. We staff brand ambassadors and demo crews for US Open sponsor activations along the pier, sampling teams for Pacific City and Main Street, lead-capture for the Hyatt Regency and Paséa Hotel offsites, and family-day production at Huntington Central Park. Our HB roster skews surf-and-skate-comfortable, on-camera-friendly, and bilingual EN/ES across roles. All staff are 100% W-2 and AB-5 compliant.

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