NiRey Reynolds
Awards Strategist & Creative Educator
With 250+ award wins and 1,000+ shortlists across the world’s top shows, I help great work get the recognition it deserves. From global awards strategy to case study storytelling, I champion bold ideas and the people behind them.
I’m eternally grateful to be winning for a living and helping others win, too.
Where It All Connects
Creative education has always been at the heart of my work. I find joy in welcoming the next generation of creatives, helping them name their strengths, trust their instincts, and see themselves as capable contributors to this industry. Whether in classrooms, workshops, or one-on-one settings, my goal is the same, to make the path forward feel possible.
Awards, 360°
From strategy to the stage, my background spans every side of the awards journey. I’ve led awards strategy for global agencies, produced major award shows, served as a juror for the industry’s most respected competitions, and earned a Creative MBA from Cannes Lions. I bring both insider knowledge and jury perspective to every project.
More Than Trophies
Recognition matters because it changes what people believe is possible. It opens doors, builds confidence, and affirms the value of great ideas and the people behind them. I’m proud of every win, and even prouder of the teams, students, and creatives I’ve had the privilege to support along the way.

The LIONS Creative MBA sharpened how I evaluate work through a juror’s lens, build award winning ideas with real world impact, and create systems that drive results. It reshaped how I lead, collaborate, and help teams win.
