HOOKSETT, N.H. (July 26, 2024)—Polaris Direct is proud to announce that CEO, Judith Maloy has been inducted into the Printing Impressions 2024 Printing Industry Hall of Fame. This prestigious honor recognizes Maloy’s impressive career, marked by innovation and leadership in the direct marketing industry.

Polaris Direct, a certified Women’s Business Enterprise and Women-Owned Small Business (WBENC), is now in its 21st year. Under Maloy’s leadership, the company has grown into a multi-million-dollar enterprise, known for its high-volume print production and mail and multi-channel marketing.

Maloy’s career began in 1984 in New York City, where she worked for a list brokerage and management company. She quickly found her niche in direct mail marketing and eventually leveraged this experience to help create Polaris Direct. The company initially invested in laser, bindery, and lettershop equipment, later expanding into digital print and inkjet variable data printing (VDP) technology, to offer data-driven multi-channel marketing solutions for their enterprise clients.

Looking ahead, Maloy remains passionate about guiding Polaris Direct’s growth and continuing to innovate in the direct marketing industry. “I’m filled with gratitude and truly honored to be inducted into the Printing Impressions 2024 Hall of Fame. In my many years of working in the print and direct marketing industry, I’ve been influenced by talented, smart people, namely my business partner and husband Joe Maloy, who mentored me along the way. I’m equally inspired by today’s talented marketers bringing innovation and expertise to our industry.”

Polaris Direct’s commitment to innovation has been a cornerstone of its success. The company’s name itself is inspired by the North Star, symbolizing its role as a guiding light for marketers. This drive to optimize direct mail for clients has garnered industry recognition, including the 2021 Innovative Company of the Year award from Printing Impressions and the 2024 Leadership Summit Innovator of the Year award.
