If you'd be interested in an ad agency / miami ad school in the heart of amsterdam, mail me.
I also know a self employed guy, one of the best art directors in the country, who has a a new studio in the center, and he happens also to be one of the nicest guys around. He also does training courses in mag design.Mail me at vormburo [at] gmail dot com for contacts.

KesselsKramer - (Alot of the Art Directors are pretty amazing designers)
Try here at W+K, but the design department is quite small.

in the best case you could do a tour on the herengracht. the (ad) agency is recommended is there, next to it are many others like wieden+kennedy, 180/Riot, CMK1, Nothing (brand new and amazing office), CCCP, Media Republic, Pink and Poodle, and even Viktor&Rolf (but that's fashion)... all in walking distance, some are neighbours...
