Advertising school plans to open in Boston

David Register, a former creative director at Boston ad agency Arnold Worldwide, said he plans to open a creative advertising school called Option in January.

In a press release, Register said he plans to offer two eight-week programs at Arnold's offices in the Back Bay; plans call for the courses to meet once a week for two hours.

"I know how hard it is to get started in advertising," Register said in a statement. "They don't teach creative advertising in college so if I can fill a void in this town, it would be great for students, for local agencies in search of talent, and for me. This is what I want to do."
