    You get hired as a freelancer to design some web banners and ads for a company. Brief mentions only one time use nothing in your contract says otherwise.

    Company says they love it and use them and want to adapt the ads to be a whole campaign.

    They have inhouse designer work on adapting them.

    Can you ask for more money?

    • ...the campaign you created. Tell them that you obviously have a connection with the brand or product and that you’d love to lead future campaign projects...Morning_star
    • ...When they commission you again change you contract to cover the work you’ve lost this time. Learn from the experience and don’t burn bridges.Morning_star
