An influx of global companies to Amsterdam , including London - based firms seeking an EU base after Brexit , will create opportunities for Dutch creative and technology agencies such as MediaMonks , according to Green Square ’s Simon Walford . M&A activity is high in the sector and since English is widely spoken in the Netherlands , the country is likely to replace the UK as a gateway to Europe for acquirers . That will help solidify Amsterdam ’s role as a hub for the marketing industry , Walford said . And with the UK potentially no longer being a gateway to Europe for non-EU marcoms acquirers, those acquirers will be focussing on alternative English-speaking gateways that attract the most creative talent. The Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency said that large companies , including Sony and Panasonic , will move to the nation and a further 250 are in talks .
