From thefreedictionary...

aggrandisement
the act of increasing the wealth or prestige or power or scope of something

Your description is quite open so I focused on the idea of influence and fame.

Verbs

  • propagate
  • elect
  • entitle
  • empower
  • authorize

Here are more general adjectives (become .../grow more ...)

  • prominent
  • prestigious
  • remarkable
  • renowned
  • captivating
  • vehement
  • auspicious (compared to other options)
  • rallied/supported
  • respected

In an evil/villanous sense:

notorious or infamous
