With 70 offices in 30 countries around the globe, IMG has been a leader in talent management and marketing for nearly five decades and represents high-profile models such as Gisele, Kate Moss, Tyra Banks, and Heidi Klum.

Reed's image on the Abercrombie & Fitch catalog cover has appeared as an ad in such publications as Rolling Stone, GQ, Teen Vogue, and the premiere issue of VITALS.
