proclaimer
One who announces
A proclaimer is someone who proclaims—who announces something publicly or emphatically.
The word appears in religious contexts for those who spread a message: a proclaimer of the gospel.
Outside such contexts, proclaimer sounds formal or old-fashioned; most speakers would say announcer or advocate instead.
