an advancement in job rank; advertising/marketing

⚠️ The trap

In Italian schools, 'promozione' means passing to the next year. In English, 'promotion' means getting a better job or advertising a product — not passing a school year.

To say "an advancement in job rank; advertising/marketing" in Italian:

N/A

"promozione" in English means:

passing the year / being promoted to the next grade

Example

"Ha ricevuto la promozione con la media dell'otto."

"He passed the year with an average grade of eight."
