Entering the U.S. market is one of the biggest growth opportunities for global medtech companies. It is also one of the hardest. American buyers expect precision, proof and messaging that speaks directly to clinical outcomes, reliability and long-term value. Even strong international companies often struggle to gain early traction because their story does not translate well for U.S. decision makers.
The right marketing partner can help bridge this gap. Below are 12 U.S.-based agencies with experience supporting medical technology, healthcare innovation, diagnostics and life sciences companies. Each one understands regulated industries, technical audiences and the complex path to earning trust in the American market.
