‘Stay focused’ has been voted as the marketing industry’s favourite Marketoonist cartoon of all time, following a public vote.

Over the past two decades, Tom Fishburne – the man behind the Marketoonist – has drawn more than 900 witty cartoons depicting the highs and lows of marketing.
After carefully selecting 10 from the vast archive it was then down to Marketing Week readers to decide which should come out on top.

Coming in second with 16.2% of the vote was ‘Brand loyalty’, one of his earliest cartoons from May 2005. This was followed by ‘Digital transformation’ from April 2020 on 14.7%, showing how relevant his cartoons continue to be throughout the years.
