Explanation:
Since this is presumably written by and for marketing types, it''s at least possible that 'aushängen' is being used figuratively here -- and the purpose of 'hanging something out' is to advertise or promote something. There's probably a better marketing jargon term than 'promote', but its the best I can think of.
