Valentina Labriola is an entrepreneur and a social media marketer. She was born in Buenos Aires and studied communications at Comenius University. Her professional experience spans the globe, including positions as an assistant for Haimaru Ohala during the launch of their flagship product, the dating app, Haba. In 2021, she co-founded a mobile commerce company, called Latitudes, in partnership with consultancy firm Bain Capital, where she is currently based.
In her online business venture, Labriola has positioned herself as an expert in the area of online marketing and ecommerce. Her website, which is aptly named, Haba Vertical, promotes herself as a talented Internet marketer and social media consultant. In one post on her blog, she promotes herself as an expert in “height appreciation.” In another, she speaks about her desire to be a “taller, better, sexier, better lover” and discusses the need for marketing and business strategies to help her attain these goals.
In a series of blog posts, she speaks about her desire to be taller and discusses various ways in which to do this, such as wearing shoes made specifically for tall men or simply changing her clothes to make herself look taller. In one of her posts, she refers to herself as “the shortest person I know,” a term that is definitely interesting in social media marketing terms, given that it’s a marketing strategy used by many giants in the industry (think about how much attention Disney and ESPN get when they mention their employees as being” taller than life”). In one of her last blog entries, she mentions having a “growth plan” and then states that she’s “hoping to grow taller” in the future. It’s easy to see where Labriola’s interest in height comes from. If you have an interest in height and are older, this could be a perfect fit for your own career, if you’ve been working in other fields with no room for growth.
