Masters Speak with Erich Joachimsthaler: The Interaction Field and How Platforms Create Shared Value
A 1 hour and 29 minute Masters Speak session where Erich Joachimsthaler explains The Interaction Field, showing leaders how platforms, ecosystems and connectivity redefine branding and growth.
Read Summary & Key Moments
Summary
In this 1 hour and 29 minute Masters Speak conversation, Erich Joachimsthaler introduces his core idea of The Interaction Field and how it transforms strategy, branding and growth in a hyper connected world. After a brief introduction from the host, he traces the evolution of branding across four eras: logic, emotion, experience and now shared value. Earlier eras focused on meeting functional needs, then adding emotional meaning and experiential differentiation. Today, he argues, value is created by orchestrating interactions among many participants, not just by pushing messages about products.
Erich shows how the shift from tangible assets to intangible assets in the late twentieth century set up a “brand revolution.” Now a new shift is underway driven by connectivity. From the early internet through mobile and social to today’s combination of cloud, IoT, AI and other technologies, connectivity has exploded. The strategic question becomes how to leverage that connectivity to build businesses that create value for customers, partners and society.
Using examples, he contrasts pipeline businesses in a “world of walls” with interaction field businesses. Domino’s Pizza illustrates how a seemingly undifferentiated product can become a leader by reimagining interactions, data and technology.

Talent FAQ's
Do speakers charge a flat fee or by the hour?
Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.
What is the typical duration of a keynote speech and what is included?
Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.
Does the scale of the event and audience size affect a speaker’s fee?
The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.
Travel expenses and other costs
Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.
Deposits and securing a booking
Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.
Additional tips and takeaways
- Virtual speaking appearances are a cost-effective alternative to high speaking fees, often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates.
- There is typically no difference in fee for a 15-minute speech versus a 60-minute speech.
- Some motivational speakers are open to discounting their fee if hired for more than one event by the same organization.
- When browsing speakers, consider their location to keep travel costs down.
- Personal connections to your organization or event location can increase your chances of securing a renowned speaker.
- Be upfront about your needs and expectations to ensure a successful partnership.
- Speaker bureaus like Speakers Inc help guide you through the booking process to negotiate the best deal with favorable terms.
