## About

PMC contractually ties its fees to P&L metrics (MER, CLTV, CAC, contribution margin, inventory turn) for fashion, beauty, and lifestyle brands at $5M–$25M revenue.

## Core Differentiator

Unlike retainer agencies, PMC's compensation depends on achieving contracted financial KPI targets. If KPIs don't move, PMC doesn't get paid.

## The Cult Engine™

1. **Diagnose** — P&L audit, unit economics, MER benchmarking
2. **Design** — Strategy tied to financial targets
3. **Orchestrate** — Full-funnel activation against contracted KPIs

## Verticals

- **Fashion**: MER 4.0–6.0x, CAC payback <60 days
- **Beauty**: MER 5.0–8.0x, repurchase >40%
- **Lifestyle**: MER 3.5–5.5x, AOV growth >15%
