About Asapscience

AsapScience is a Canadian science education channel founded by Mitchell Moffit and Gregory Brown, a Toronto-based duo who launched the project in the early 2010s and built their following on short, whiteboard-animation videos designed to translate peer-reviewed research into digestible curiosity pieces. Their signature format — a clean visual style paired with a conversational, often irreverent tone — helped define what pop-science content looked like on YouTube before the format became crowded. Over time they broadened beyond whiteboard animations into Shorts, long-form explainers, and music-based education, with 'The Pi Song' series standing as a recurring example of how they blend entertainment with genuine mnemonic value. They also co-host the 'Sidenote' podcast, extending their brand into conversational science commentary.

Their audience skews heavily male and spans a wide age range, with strong representation from the United States, Mexico, and India — a geographic spread that reflects the channel's English-language accessibility and the global appetite for science content. An engagement rate well above category median signals a retained, loyal core rather than passive subscriber accumulation. The sponsor mix is notably broad-lifestyle: Nike and Columbia Sportswear suggest the channel reaches an active, aspirational male demographic, while Duolingo and Ground News point to brands targeting intellectually curious adults. Henson Shaving, a direct-to-consumer precision grooming brand, reinforces that core male 25–44 skew. As short-form science content grows more commoditized, AsapScience's decade-plus brand recognition and cross-platform presence position it as a durable mid-funnel vehicle for brands seeking educated, globally distributed audiences.

Why brands partner

Asapscience reaches its audience primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations, Instagram Reels and Stories, TikTok branded content. As an education creator they map naturally to brands targeting that space. Demonstrated partners include Ground News and Nike. Engagement on YouTube runs around 4.8%, which points to an audience better suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel campaigns than to pure-reach buys. The channel's mix of long-form YouTube integrations and Instagram Reels and Stories lets a sponsor choose between short awareness placements and longer, more detailed integrations. Because the audience follows education content rather than arriving through untargeted reach, sponsorships that match the channel's subject matter tend to convert more efficiently than broad placements. A consistent, on-topic posting focus gives sponsors a predictable, brand-safe environment, lowering placement risk compared with broad, general-interest channels. Campaigns here are best measured on qualified engagement and consideration within the niche rather than on raw impression volume. For brands in education and related categories, Asapscience offers a defined, creative-fit audience rather than broad, low-intent impressions.
