Brian Quick is a Professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He also holds an appointment in the Carle Illinois College of Medicine at the University of Illinois.  Professor Quick is also the Director of the Online Master of Science degree in Health Communication.

Professor Quick’s research and teaching interests are in social marketing. His recent work examines various strategies to promote public health, environmental conservation, injury prevention, safety, financial stability, and community engagement. Although my research interests are rooted in social marketing, I see my research falling into three distinct lines: (a) formative, process, and summative evaluation of social marketing campaigns, (b) message processing of ads, and (c) an analysis of media messages. Throughout each of these lines, my emphasis is on extending theory as well as concentrating on the practical implications of my work and communicating these findings to various audiences both inside and outside of academia.Together, Professor Quick and his associates strive to save lives as well as greatly improve the quality of life for individuals.
