SRM acquires client relationships and assets from The Babb Group, deepening its higher education capabilities
Boston, MA — June 3, 2026
Six Red Marbles (SRM) is expanding its higher education partnerships through the acquisition of client relationships and supporting assets from The Babb Group (TBG), a higher education services organization focused on instructional design and online course development.
The acquisition strengthens SRM’s presence in higher education and supports continued growth in instructional design, course development, and digital learning services for colleges and universities.
As part of the agreement, SRM will assume responsibility for supporting a portfolio of existing institutional relationships and ongoing engagements previously managed by TBG. The transaction also includes the transfer of selected operational resources, digital properties, and related intellectual property intended to support continuity and future collaboration opportunities.
“From our earliest conversations, it was clear that TBG and SRM share a similar philosophy around partnership, quality, and client service. TBG has developed strong, trusted relationships with institutions over the years, and we’re looking forward to building on that foundation by bringing expanded capabilities and greater scale to help those institutions meet their evolving needs.”
Robin Zaccardo, Chief Experience Officer, Six Red Marbles
