flacked
Did publicity work
Flacked is the past tense of flack, meaning to work as a publicist or promote something aggressively.
A flack is someone who handles publicity, often with a slightly dismissive connotation—suggesting spin over substance: She flacked for the studio during the film's release.
The senator's team flacked hard for the controversial bill.
