Imagine a world without local shops. The rise of online giants and mass-produced goods threatens unique businesses and local economies. Makeke empowers these independent retailers by helping them reach customers online through short videos. Choose local, shop consciously, and be the hero for these small businesses.

We're thrilled to announce that Makeke was recently featured in the New York Weekly's business section! The article, titled "Jennifer Gearheart-Tang Shows How Her App Makeke is a Beacon of Hope for the Future of Shopping," highlights the challenges faced by independent retailers and how Makeke is helping them thrive in today's digital landscape.

What is Makeke? Makeke is a platform that unleashes the fusion of e-commerce and sustainability. We offer the best of both worlds all in one place. The dynamic nature of TikTok and the uniqueness of Etsy’s artisanal values. Makeke is actually more than just a platform; it's an immersive virtual journey through the energetic towns of the UK that highlights small businesses and offers an entertaining shopping experience.

This week, Makeke co-founders Drake Gearheart and Jenniffer Gearheart-Tang took the podcast world by storm, diving deep into the heart of our mission: empowering local retailers and connecting them with conscious shoppers.
