[Barack Obama]Pool/Reuters President Barack Obama on Tuesday warned of a need to "guard" against a rise in nationalism both at home and abroad during a press conference in Greece one week after the election of Donald Trump. Alongside Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, Obama said that "separate and apart from any particular election or movement," that guard is a necessity. "We are going to have to guard against a rise in a crude sort of nationalism or ethnic identity or tribalism that is built around an 'us' and a 'them,'" he said. "And I will never apologize for saying that the future of humanity, the future of the world is going to be defined by what we have in common, [not] those things that separate us and ultimately lead us into conflict." The self-described alt-right, a movement that believes strongly in ethnocentricity and nationalism, helped usher Trump into the presidency. Trump in turn elevated Steve Bannon, a top executive of the alt-right media outlet Breitbart, to his campaign CEO and, more recently, to his chief strategist in the White House. In Europe, far-right movements have gained traction in a litany of nations, including France and Germany, while a nationalist movement in the United Kingdom helped lead to its vote to exit the European Union. Obama highlighted Europe's bloody past, namely during World War I and World War II, as reason to avoid a path toward heightened nationalism. "We know what happens when Europeans start dividing themselves up and emphasizing their differences and seeing a competition between various countries in a zero-sum way," he said. "The 20th century was a bloodbath. And for all the frustrations and failures of the project to unify Europe, the last five decades have been periods of unprecedented peace, prosperity, and growth in Europe." Turning his focus onto the US, Obama said, "We know what happens when we divide ourselves along the lines of race, religion, and ethnicity." "It's dangerous," he continued, saying that discrimination against various minority groups prevents the country from reaching its potential. Asked if he took responsibility for Trump's election, Obama reiterated that he was "surprised" by the election, but said he doesn't "feel responsible for what the president-elect says or does." "But I do feel a responsibility as president of the United States to make sure that I facilitate a good transition," he said. He added that he will present to Trump and the US his ideas for how to improve the country, and speak out on policies he disagrees with.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Drawing a broad lesson from the election of Donald Trump, President Barack Obama said Tuesday that world leaders need to pay attention to people's very real fears of economic dislocation and inequality in the midst of globalization. Obama, in a joint news conference with Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, said that both Trump's election and the British vote to leave the European Union reflected the need to deal with "people's fears that their children won't do as well as they have." The president earlier offered the Greeks reassuring words about the U.S. commitment to NATO, saying Democratic and Republican administrations alike recognize the importance of the alliance to the trans-Atlantic relationship. Obama pledged to keep pressing his view that "austerity alone cannot deliver prosperity and that it is going to be important both with respect to debt relief and other accommodative strategies to help the Greek people in this period of adjustment." Security was tight, with major roads shut down along Obama's motorcade route and a ban on public gatherings and demonstrations in swaths of central Athens and a southern suburb near a seaside luxury hotel where Obama was staying.

[CMOs Banner 800 (1)]Business Insider Business Insider has published its inaugural ranking of the 50 most innovative CMOs in the world. [Storytellers 4x3]Here we celebrate the "storytellers." These are the CMOs who have mastered the art of telling stories across platforms; the marketers who have created appointment-to-view advertising campaigns that consumers actually choose to watch; and those who have turned around the perception of their companies with messaging that gets to the heart of what their brand stands for. Scroll down to see which CMOs made the cut. Our "Storytellers" list is organized in alphabetical order. _Additional reporting from Lori Janjigian and Hannah Roberts._ DANA ANDERSON, MONDELEZ Getty/Paul Zimmerman Anderson is a true storyteller, bringing to life and building the profiles of everyday food brands like Oreo, Cadbury, and Ritz through creative campaigns that break the usual sweets-and-snacks mold. Recent examples include the "What are you breathing?" campaign for Halls, an "alpine fairy tale" for Milka, the "Made for More" Triscuit spot, and the Lacta Greece ad "Love like there's no tomorrow." Anderson has also led Mondelez's push toward a content monetization model, shifting from the traditional media-buyer model to becoming content investors and producers. The aim is to monetize up to 10% of Mondelez's global media investments by 2020 — transforming what was usually considered as a cost into a profit center. A recent example of this approach was July's Stride Heaven Sent prime-time event on Fox, in which skydiver Luke Aikins jumped from a plane at 25,000 feet with nothing but the clothes on his back — and landed safely. Anderson has also enacted a "fly fearless" initiative that aims to improve the way Mondelez works with creative partners. Pilots so far have seen a 43% reduction in average time from idea creation to launch, a 25% drop in average team size, and increased return on investment — every dollar spent returning $1.38 in value, according to Mondelez. GARY BRIGGS, FACEBOOK Facebook Briggs became Facebook's first chief marketing officer in 2013, jumping ship from Google. Last year, he explained how Facebook has brought a lot more of its creative in-house — rather than using agencies — "for speed." Most of Facebook's advertising output now is developed by its internal creative team, The Factory, which also creates work for other companies and counts a number of former senior agency creatives among its ranks. Recently, Facebook invested in a multimillion-dollar global ad campaign aimed at educating people on how to use Facebook Live. Every video and image as shot using Facebook Live on a phone, and none of the dialog was scripted, Briggs said. Briggs isn't just responsible for marketing the Facebook website and app — he's also charged with weaving together the positioning and communications of its other big bets, such as its Oculus Rift virtual reality system, and Facebook's goal of connecting underdeveloped parts of the world to the internet. Outside of his role at Facebook, Briggs serves on the advisory boards at the Lagunitas Brewing Company and Lending Club, and is a board director at LifeLock. CRAIG INGLIS, JOHN LEWIS John Lewis Inglis was promoted to the newly created role of customer director in September 2015, with the expanded remit to cover the whole customer experience alongside his previous marketing and customer insight duties. The UK department store has become famous for its Christmas ads, with a combination of a big creative ideas supported by social media activity and exclusive promotional products. John Lewis just released its 2016 ad, a two-minute film based on a dog named Buster who takes a turn on the trampoline gift intended for the young girl in his household. "2016 has certainly been quite a year, so we hope our advert will make people smile," Inglis said. "It really embraces a sense of fun and magic, reminding everyone what it feels to give the perfect gift at Christmas." This year's campaign smashed its previous spots in terms of social media shares. "Buster the Boxer" was shared 218,000 times across social media in the first 24 hours of its release, according to Unruly. Last year's "Man on the Moon" campaign hit 175,000 shares in its first day. "Man on the Moon" has been viewed more than 25 million times on YouTube, and John Lewis saw a 5.1% uptick in sales over last year's Christmas trading period. The industry publication Campaign called John Lewis' relationship with the ad agency Adam & Eve/DDB one of the world's "most creative partnerships." And Inglis described the key ingredient of their consistently creative marketing as "breathtakingly brutal honesty." SEE THE REST OF THE STORY AT BUSINESS INSIDER
