Although I don't want to overtax anyone with extra work, I would have to 
agree. From what you are saying, compared to other CMSs, there doesn't seem 
much advantage in using Hugo, at least not for non-developer content creators 
(which is, in theory, what Promo would mostly be made up of).

My first instinct would be to go with Wordpress, although I understand that 
that was tried and abandoned for some reason.
