Journalista won a pitch to manage a four-month project intended to raise awareness of the body's late 2012 rebrand and its work with partners such as Asda and Change4Life, and to launch a study into levels of public inactivity in different council areas.
UK Active is seeking to engage further with the reformed NHS to make the case for the role of physical activity in helping patients, Journalista founder Holly Sutton explained.
"You now have recently appointed directors of public health thinking about budgets and which tenders to put out and UK Active wants to be front of mind," she added.
