The most likely path, plus upside and downside
Samsung successfully integrates its products into high-profile events, leading to moderate sales growth and increased brand loyalty.
Exceptional engagement during live events drives significant sales increases for Galaxy devices, resulting in enhanced market share among Gen Z and Millennial consumers.
