Ignite Series 005: Mera McGrew

The Ignite Series is a monthly interview of an artist, creator, or community organizer whose passion has inspired us. In honor of its subject, we create a collectible piece of matchbox art for our subscribers.

 

Mera McGrew is the founder of Soapply, a company that's as well known for its luxurious soap and striking bottles as for helping solve the global hygiene crisis.

We first bumped into Mera while running a candle pop-up in Brooklyn, and immediately bonded on a shared mission: quality products combined with meaningful impact. Our founder Stephen sat down with Mera to hear more about soap, hygiene and the challenges and thrills of being a solo founder.

If you enjoyed this article, you might enjoy our not-quite-weekly free newsletter where we share our lessons on our journey toward our regenerative vision, product launches, and behind-the-scenes happenings.

We left social media in 2021 because we found its current mechanics didn’t align with our purpose to facilitate connection to the natural world, our loved ones, and our own spirits. Since then, our newsletter has become a vibrant place for healthy conversation around topics ranging from alternative business ownership models to happy hour cocktail recipes.

Join our free newsletter to be the first to hear about newly available scented candles, special events, and more.

What our readers say about it

“It’s very thoughtful and not sales-y like all other marketing newsletters.”

“I like reading how a business is trying to be as progressive as possible in a capitalist system.”

“I normally delete emails from businesses but with the Keap newsletter I was actually interested in reading through! Made me feel that you guys really care about us and the work you do."
