ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Promo (media)

Promo (media) refers to something that people make to try to convince other people to buy or watch something.

Let's say you have a new toy that you want other kids to buy. You might make a video showing how fun it is to play with the toy, or you might create posters with pictures of the toy to put up in stores. These things are all examples of promos.

Promos are like a special message that says, "Hey, you should check this out!" They are meant to make people interested in something and want to learn more about it. And when people see a promo, they might want to buy the thing being promoted or watch the show being advertised.

So promos are like an advertisement that makes something sound really cool or interesting, so that people want to try it out for themselves!
