About
McGraw Hill

McGraw Hill is a global education company with over 130 years of history, serving learners and educators in more than 100 countries. As the company accelerates its shift toward digital learning, it delivers trusted content through technology-driven platforms that require clear, effective communication to drive adoption among instructors and students worldwide.




The
Challenge


1. Clearly explain new digital learning platforms to instructors and students.

2. Position the shift from print to digital as innovative yet easy to adopt.

3. Support onboarding at scale across institutions with different levels of digital readiness.




Our
Solution

To meet these needs, Yum Yum Videos created three explainer videos between 2023 and 2024. Each video focused on a specific digital initiative — GO, Sharpen, and Evergreen — explaining how the platforms work, how they fit into existing workflows, and how they address real classroom needs.

What began as individual product videos became a cohesive set of communication assets, embedded across McGraw Hill’s official product pages and used to support onboarding, adoption, and ongoing digital engagement.
