advertorial

An article or editorial that has been written for the purpose of promoting a product or service. The word itself is a combination of "advertisement" and "editorial." Often the piece will avoid a tone with overt bias.
I had read a whole page about vitamins in the news magazine before realizing the story was just an advertorial.

advertorial sage 

One who thrives in the commercial throes of cleaning, polishing, and aesthetic products and gadgetry, while possessing and embodying the wisdom of an edified persona.
The advertorial sage's day job seems contrary to her true passion and spirit, leading one to expect greatness from such trials.

advertrolling 

Garnering attention for a product or service by trolling the politically correct public for reactionary outrage.
Example: Amazon launched a highly successful advertrolling campaign for "Man in the High Tower" on November 24, 2015, when it plastered a New York City subway with Nazi symbolism. The offensive symbolism was promptly removed in response to public outcry, as was expected, but not before the show, which paints a grim picture of an alternate reality in which the Axis powers had won WWII, had received a great deal of attention.
