"Promoter" is a broad term used to describe anyone who organizes entertainment events.
These could be concerts, nightclub parties or sporting events in any type of venue.
Their responsibilities require skills in several areas--advertising, public relations, finance, entertainment business sense, innovation and intuition--and for promoters who excel in these areas, the payoff can be enormous.

A promoter is a person who is responsible for marketing and publicizing events.
He or she can work to advertise events such as concerts, athletic tournaments, or charity events.
Promoters must come up with creative ways to make sure the public knows about events in order to draw crowds.
Depending on the marketing budget of the venue, a promoter will need to figure out unique and affordable ways to spread information about the event, while promoting it in a way that makes people want to attend.
Promoters generally need to be able to predict what types of marketing will work for specific events.
For instance, some promoters may be more likely to use social networking websites to market an event for tech-savvy people in their twenties, rather than rely on other advertisements.
During a specific events or projects, promoters may have to work with many other people in other industries to fully organize and market the event.
For example, he or she may work with graphic designers and copy shop employees in order to oversee the design, production, and distribution of event flyers.
Aspiring promoters may pass out flyers themselves, while experienced promoters have volunteers distribute them.

Promotion work is project-based, so a promoter may work long hours leading up to an event and then be out of work until the next event.
There is typically no official undergraduate education for becoming a promoter.
Promoters who tend to be the most successful are the ones who can figure out what marketing strategies will be most successful for different demographics.
Success in promotion is generally measured by the amount of profit the event makes.
Even if a promoter can draw huge crowds, he or she may not have continued success if too much money was spent on marketing and a large net profit was not made.
