Life

Maria Großbauer, nee Jeitler, was born as the daughter of trombonist and former member of the Vienna Philharmonic Karl Jeitler (* 1947). She grew up in Ternitz . Großbauer came into contact with music at an early age, and as a child she regularly accompanied her father to orchestra rehearsals. At the age of 5 she received her first music lessons. She first learned the recorder and flute , later piano and saxophone . As a teenager she founded her own music ensemble and played in various music formations.

After graduating from high school , Großbauer first attended the Berlitz School of Languages in Vienna . From 1999 to 2001, she trained as an advertising specialist at the Vienna Advertising Academy. There she completed the specialist course for market communication, which she completed with a diploma from the International Advertising Association (IAA, NY). In 2002 she won the "Young Creatives Competition" and took part as representative of Austria in a competition at the International Advertising Festival in Cannes .

From 2001, she worked for ten years at various national and international advertising agencies as a copywriter in the text / concept area. In June 2011 she started her own advertising agency as a sole proprietor in Vienna.
