promote

To perpetuate or elevate the status of a person, concept, ideal, organization or the like. Etymology stems from a Middle-English amalgamation of Latin 'pro-' (for) and Middle English 'motan' (allow, must). To offer support for allowance to continue is to promote. The opposite of condemn and dissent.

Roberto wasn't aware that his mass-murder killing spree promoted strong Republican values until Rush Limbaugh offered him a co-hosting role on his talk show.

Promofear

Fear of getting something for free offered from product or service promotions.

Promofear is when companies offer free products or services with no strings attached, just to promote their brands or their products and services, the skeptics start touting doubt about the products or services offered aren't real without even going to their office/store/trade show booths/marketing company stores. Some go as extreme as even emailing the company through their websites to support staff telling that an advertising service was giving away their products for free and it's not real.

promovo

Short for promotional video – typically an advertisement-style video that isn't on TV because it runs too long.

"Dude, have you seen the promovo for the iPhone?"
"Yeah dude, that guy kicks ass in his black mock-turtleneck"
