"Arrow Publicity produced a campaign that is designed to appeal to audiences between the ages of 18 and 25."

My textbook says, even if omit the word 'that is', the meaning of this sentense does not change however if this case, it could be interpreted that Arrow Publicity designed it, right?

p.s) if any grammatical error of strange part in my question post, please point it out, thank you

    Does this answer your question? move into the few buildings "still standing" – FumbleFingers Aug 04 '23 at 11:42

    Deletion of *that is, which are, etc. is called [whiz-deletion.](https://www.reddit.com/r/EnglishLearning/comments/p3tuyo/whiz_deletion/) So far as I know, this never* changes the meaning. In your example, if Arrow Publicity "produced" something, the implication is they also designed it - but this is unaffected by whiz-deletion. – FumbleFingers Aug 04 '23 at 11:43

    Perhaps worth noting that 'whiz-deletion' is something that ESOL teachers and students talk about, but which ordinary native speakers have never heard of (like 'first' 'second' etc conditionals). – Michael Harvey Aug 04 '23 at 13:33

    Since you ask, if any grammatical error of strange part in my question post, please point it out, thank you is very odd: I think you want to say if there is any grammatical error or... And strange part is grammatical but unidiomatic; you might say if there is any grammatical error or anything else strange in my post, please point it out. – Stuart F Aug 04 '23 at 14:21
