nirey REYNOLDS

I’m a creative excellence leader, educator, and award strategist dedicated to helping agencies, brands, and creatives unlock the recognition their work deserves.

With 250+ award wins, 1,000+ shortlists, and experience on every side of the awards circuit, I know what it takes to make great work shine. From building global award strategies to crafting case films and leading submissions across continents, I champion bold ideas and the people who bring them to life.

Beyond the red carpets and accolades, I’m deeply rooted in creative education. I find so much joy in welcoming the next generation of creatives into the industry whether I’m teaching, mentoring, judging competitions, or supporting my favorite mentees. Championing emerging talent is one of the greatest privileges of my career.

As the Global Director of Creative Excellence at Momentum Worldwide and a proud Cannes Lions Creative MBA graduate — I’ve built a career at the intersection of creativity and education. I believe in the power of recognition, the importance of craft, and the magic that happens when talent is nurtured, seen, and celebrated.

I’m eternally grateful to be winning for a living and helping others win, too.
