In today's world, content is king. But with so much noise out there, how do you differentiate yours from the rest of the pack? 

I believe it is by engaging with the customer and providing content that matters to them. Don't produce just for the sake of producing, but so that you can improve their lives in some meaningful way. Blogs and social media are one forum for sharing such content.

In addition to developing a social media marketing strategy and producing compelling posts, I am also experienced with taking technical content and transforming it into engaging, conversational blog posts. This includes writing short- and long-form posts, checklists, how-to video introductions, infographics, etc.

Since "The Ipsen, Harold" blog was started in July 2014, I increased blog pageviews by 158% (AAGR) through creation of quality posts that establish Ipsen as a thought leader in the industry.

Today, we want to leave you with a broader understanding of the different leak detection methodologies. To start, the two primary techniques used are the spray probe and the sniffer probe.

From the Archives: A Collection of Shutdown and Maintenance Resources

As we begin to get excited for the holiday season – from food comas brought on by too much turkey to trimming the tree and spiked eggnog – it’s easy to forget the preparation that often goes into getting your equipment ready for shutdowns and the start of the next year. Over the years, we have written several blog posts and provided various resources related to this very topic. So, instead of pulling just one from our archives, we decided to put them all together in one post so you don’t have to spend your precious online shopping time searching for the resources you need (because, admit it, you waited until the last minute to buy presents – again).
