NYU Stern Marketing Professor Scott Galloway presents this week's "biggest winners and losers in digital"--

Winner: Snapchat. No longer just an app, the company aims to reinvent the camera with Spectacles, its new hardware product. Domains: snap.com, snapchat.com, spectacles.com

Loser: Warehouse clubs like Costco and Sam's Club, which are rapidly losing share to Amazon Prime. Domains: costco.com, samsclub.com, amazon.com

Loser: Fashion insiders. As brands adopt the see now, buy now format and post on Instagram and Snapchat, fashion executives need to keep pace with the changing times.
