Meet The People (MTP), an international group of marketing agencies with European DNA, and KD Global USA, an import company based in Atlanta, Georgia, have announced a strategic partnership aimed at simplifying North American market entry for small and mid-sized European enterprises. The collaboration integrates import management, logistics, fulfillment, distribution, and FDA/insurance support with creative, e-commerce, and growth marketing services, offering a comprehensive, low-hassle entry gate for European entrepreneurs.
Under the alliance, KD Global USA handles the operational side, providing import management as the primary partner for U.S. inbound shipments, warehousing, logistics, fulfillment, and distribution across the United States. The company also offers FDA support and insurance to ensure compliance and risk coverage, along with delivery and returns management for operational reliability. Meet The People contributes a U.S.-based e-commerce expert team to enable the first steps in online sales, from strategy to execution. This includes creating all needed creative assets for product pages, ads, and content, setting up e-commerce and advertising/promotion strategies on platforms like Amazon and Walmart, and running performance-driven growth programs to accelerate visibility and sales.
This lean, senior-led, and cost-efficient alternative targets smaller and mid-sized businesses that often find large international networks focused on high-budget global accounts. Founded by Europeans, MTP’s European DNA ensures cultural alignment, trusted guidance, and transatlantic capabilities typically found only in big networks, but without the big-network overhead. The partnership is designed to provide a high-value, low-risk solution for European SMEs to enter North America with maximum impact and minimal complexity.
“This alliance gives European entrepreneurs an actionable and realistic way to start selling and growing in North America,” said Tim Ringel, Founder & CEO of Meet The People. “Our team sets up the creative, marketing, and e-commerce foundation, while KD Global – starting with import – delivers the operational reliability to make it work. It’s a 360° growth model built for agile, ambitious European SMEs.” Patrick Koehler, Managing Director of KD Global USA, added, “We’re excited to partner with Meet The People to make U.S. expansion more accessible. As the import company of record, we simplify inbound logistics first – then add warehousing, fulfillment, distribution, FDA support, and insurance – so European brands can operate confidently while MTP drives demand.”
