It sits naturally in the active senses: promoting a colleague, promoting a film, promoting growth, promoting a pawn to a queen in chess, or promoting a catalyst in chemistry. The sports meaning is the exception. A team is usually promoted to a higher league rather than doing the promoting, so the -ing form rarely turns up there.
