    Frequently asked questions

    What does Principal Media Communications do for fashion brands?
    Principal Media Communications (PMC) is a P&L-contracted growth partner for $5M–$25M fashion brands. PMC diagnoses blended MER, CAC payback, 90-day repurchase, contribution after media and inventory turn, then orchestrates media, creative and lifecycle against those numbers.
    Why does inventory matter in fashion media planning?
    Spending behind styles with thin stock depth or high markdown risk can grow revenue while shrinking margin. PMC weights media toward inventory that can sell through at full price.
    How do fashion brands start working with PMC?
    With the Free Revenue & P&L Audit. Qualified brands receive a review of where margin is leaking before any program is proposed.
