self-promoter

Shameless horn blower

A self-promoter is someone who actively publicizes their own accomplishments, skills, or image.

The term usually carries a negative connotation, suggesting excessive or shameless boasting: He's such a self-promoter—every conversation circles back to his achievements.

In business contexts, self-promotion is sometimes treated as a necessary skill, though the noun self-promoter still tends toward criticism.
