I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one publicising a bit' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'of bad management?' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'ADMAN' can be found hidden inside 'bad management'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for adman that I've seen before include "Commercials writer" , "Commercial publicist" , "Worker in commercials" , "promoter" , "persuasive type" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
