I have a sticky situation and I'm not quite sure how to deal with it.

As part of branding a company for a friend/client I have created some cartoon type characters (as well a logo, fonts, colours, feel and all the other branding stuff). Now this is a good friend so I'm not necessarily concerned about losing business but he's involved someone else to do some facebook marketing. This third party wants all the individual assets.

I'm doing all this work at a reasonable rate and would like to retain control of the artwork used.

As this is a friend I have offered to create backgrounds for the ads for free when ordinarily I would be negotiating a better rate for handing over the constituent parts of my design work.

The third party is pressing for the parts so I would welcome any input on how to proceed and what my expectations should be.

Thanks.

I think you have your answer right there in your question. I would suggrest that you tell your friend/client:

And then maybe follow with


I'm sure you understand. I'd be fine handing this over to your 3rd part marketing person but I do have to ask you for a market-rate fee to do so.


They may understand, they may not. That is the risk we always take doing work for friends at a 'friend rate'.
