0:02 Loser: ESPN.
0:03 The triple whammy of the loss of 12 million subscribers in the past six years,
0:07 escalating costs for the rights to broadcast live sporting events,
0:10 and declining ad revenue
0:13 led ESPN to announce layoffs last week.
0:16 Consumers are not consuming less content.
0:18 They're consuming it in a different way.
0:20 ESPN made early forays into digital
0:22 but never figured out how to move away from expensive on-air talent contracts
0:27 or its dependency on the outdated business model of squeezing premiums from cable providers.
0:32 Winner or loser? Nike,
0:34 who signed a billion-dollar lifetime endorsement deal
0:36 with the Real Madrid soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo in December.
0:40 Ronaldo joins LeBron James and Michael Jordan as the only athletes to reach this milestone.
0:46 This might actually be a bargain for Nike.
0:50 Ronaldo generated half that fee, or $500 million, in value for the brand
0:54 from his social media channels in 2016.
0:57 Ronaldo published 347 posts that mentioned Nike,
1:01 garnering almost half a billion interactions.
1:04 His 120 million fans on Facebook make him the most popular person on the platform.
1:11 A winner: salespeople.
1:12 With social media influencers facing declining trust,
1:15 companies are investing in the credibility garnered from retail salespeople.
1:18 Experticity - what a stupid name - which operates an exclusive social network of more than a million retail experts
1:26 has raised $30 million in venture capital.
1:28 Buy some common sense with that money. Experticity?
1:32 In exchange for listening to brand pitches, salespeople get discounts and exclusive access to products.
1:37 750 brands have signed on,
1:39 including The North Face, Adidas, Nickelodeon, and most recently Reebok
1:44 which is using Experticity to promote a new shoe to serious runners.
1:48 A winner: students.
1:50 Yeah, beer, unprotected sex and football games.
1:52 Tell me something I don't know.
1:54 With tuition rising faster than inflation
1:56 and the average college student facing $37,000 in debt,
2:00 students are turning to online fundraising site GoFundMe to help cover the cost.
2:05 Over the past three years,
2:06 more than 130,000 GoFundMe campaigns for college tuition expenses
2:12 have raised $60 million from 850,000 donations.
2:16 Some notable campaigns: E-Jayy's Compton to Harvard campaign raised $21,000
2:21 and Baltimore native Khalil Bridges' campaign to attend community college
