Bring Learning to Life
At Samplistic, we believe kids learn best when they care. That’s why, in addition to our high-level commercial work we’ve been lucky to spend the last 15 years creating media that helps students develop a love for learning.
From early prototypes to full-scale systems and product builds, we’ve partnered with leading edtech teams to produce media that informs and engages, all while staying rooted in pedagogy and purpose.
Making one video is great, but to have a game-changing product, you need a lot more– we build systems to make educational media at scale.
Templated creative pipelines, streamlined reviews and delivery workflows, every part of the production process is designed to be efficient, repeatable, and flexible. This lets us deliver thousands of high-quality assets — fast — with high quality, creativity, or instructional value.
StudySync
Partner since day one
StudySync is a comprehensive, award-winning ELA and literacy curriculum for grades 6–12, featuring core texts, dynamic videos, ELL, social studies, and science components. It integrates literature, media, and critical thinking exercises to build strong reading, writing, listening, and analytical skills.
We’ve worked with StudySync from its earliest days in 2010, helping shape not only its content but its identity. Collaborating closely with their creatives and academic designers, we created video media that was academically rigorous and completely engaging— content that became a unique differentiator for the StudySync brand and changed the playing field for educational media.
Today, StudySync generates over $100 million in annual revenue and has brought in more than $2 billion over the past decade, with our media playing a central role in classroom engagement and district sales.

Traverse
Creative Leadership and Scale
Traverse is a digital‑first, inquiry‑driven social studies curriculum for grades 6–12 from Imagine Learning. It blends over 1,400 primary and secondary sources, 700+ videos, and 240+ inquiry tasks, including dynamic formats like Traverse 360, QuickTalk, and The Beat — all designed to spark curiosity, civic thinking, and historical inquiry.
We began Traverse by developing a cohesive visual identity and brand system that could span a diverse range of media types — from explainer videos to interactive experiences. To stay relevant in today’s media landscape and engage digital-native learners, we helped Imagine Learning develop interactive formats that extended beyond traditional video, giving students opportunities to explore, respond, and think critically.
Working side-by-side with subject-matter experts and instructional designers, we shaped a consistent narrative voice across media, then engineered a templated production pipeline capable of producing hundreds of high-quality videos efficiently and at scale.
