De Smedt Meridian acts as your dedicated external sales force — fully embedded in your brand, connecting you to distributors and buyers across 30+ markets from day one.
A meridian is a line of longitude that runs from pole to pole — crossing every continent, every ocean, every border. No matter where you stand on the globe, a meridian passes through you.
That is precisely what De Smedt Meridian does. We are the invisible line that connects your brand to the right buyers, distributors and partners in every corner of the world. We cross borders so you don't have to.
Built on a philosophy of precision, persistence and genuine global reach — De Smedt Meridian exists to make the world smaller for the producers and brands we represent.
"We embed fully into your brand and operate as your global team — with 500+ active contacts, senior expertise, and results that begin in 72 hours."
No ramp-up time. No fixed headcount. No market you can't reach. De Smedt Meridian is the shortest line between your brand and global distribution.
De Smedt Meridian is a boutique sales agency built for producers who want to grow their brand globally — without the overhead of building an internal sales team. We work with brands across sectors, opening doors in new markets and turning contacts into signed distribution agreements.
We are not a consulting firm. We do not produce reports. We pick up the phone, write the emails and close the meetings. From the first outreach to the signed distribution agreement, we are inside the deal.
Without building an internal team.
