A cinematic B2B brand film that personified office noise as a lion — and let an acoustic sliding system silence it. Engineered for organic reach, with zero paid media.
Press play. Criterion Industries — “Tame Any Noise” · 0:48 · sound on
Criterion Industries has engineered architectural aluminium systems in Australia since 1981 — partitions, doors and sliding systems specified by architects and commercial builders.
The Lion Sliding System is one of their flagship products: a glass sliding partition with market-leading acoustic ratings. Technically excellent. And, like every acoustic product ever made, emotionally invisible.
Acoustic performance is one of the hardest things in the world to advertise. You can’t see it. You can’t hear it in a thumbnail. And in commercial fitout, every competitor publishes the same decibel charts and the same spec PDFs.
Criterion didn’t need another product explainer. They needed people to feel the problem the product solves — and they needed it to travel without a media budget behind it.


We personified noise as a lion. Wild, magnificent, impossible to ignore — and we set it loose inside a calm, modern office.
It prowls between the desks. It roars over a phone call. It unsettles a focused team. Noise, made physical. Then the Lion Sliding System closes — the glass slides shut, the roar falls away, and the lion, finally, lies down. Tamed.
The product’s own name became the entire creative. “Lion” wasn’t a tagline we invented; it was the metaphor already waiting inside the brand. One line carried it: Tame any noise.
We ran the project end-to-end as a production studio.
Every frame was built to survive a feed — watched on mute, at a thumbnail’s size, mid-scroll. The acoustic claim arrives only once the audience already wants it.
We built this for reach, not for a paid funnel — so the win is in how far it went without a budget pushing it.

That’s exactly the kind of thing we make people feel. Let’s package the next one.
