WHIPPANY, N.J., June 12, 2026 — Today, Aleve® announced the launch of its Project DIY Campaign, a new DIY-focused marketing initiative under the recently launched Feel Aleve® platform, featuring HGTV stars, Dave and Jenny Marrs. The activation centers around a home transformation project where Dave and Jenny Marrs renovated a family's back porch, taking a non-functioning space and making it into a space the whole family can use and enjoy and bringing to life what it means to Feel Aleve – up to 12-hours of long-lasting body pain relief so you can stay focused on what you love over pain. The initiative began rolling out in May and will continue across social, digital, and Walmart retail channels throughout summer 2026.

In addition to the featured build, the brand is also working with a roster of DIY creators to upgrade their own homes. Through their renovation and home transformation projects, these creators will showcase how Aleve relieves pain and helps power the activities and projects they are passionate about.

The Project DIY initiative lives across Aleve-owned and partner channels and includes original social content from Dave and Jenny Marrs, as well as other DIY creators, sharing behind-the-scenes looks at their projects and renovations. Through these real-life stories, the campaign demonstrates how Aleve’s long-lasting body pain relief can help people stay focused on physically demanding projects and spend more time doing the activities they’re passionate about. 

“There’s a real sense of accomplishment that comes from transforming a space with your own hands,” said Dave Marrs, Aleve campaign partner and home renovation expert. “For Jenny and me, it was rewarding to take a back porch that wasn’t being used and turn it into a space the whole family can enjoy together. DIY projects can be physically demanding, which is why partnering with Aleve felt like such a natural fit.”
