promoters
Those pushing causes
Promoters are people or organizations that work to advance, support, or publicize something.
In business, a promoter organizes and finances ventures, particularly in bringing events to the public: concert promoters, boxing promoters.
The term often carries a whiff of salesmanship or hype, suggesting someone who talks up an idea or product to generate interest.
In molecular biology, a promoter is a DNA sequence that initiates transcription of a gene—a technical sense unrelated to the others.
