Mr. Brecht was the Founder, Chairman and CEO of Opus Media Corporation, Mt. Pleasant, a seven year old digital strategy and marketing firm. Opus Media was recipient of the Charleston Emerging Ten Award. The company closed its doors in December 2001 due to the worldwide recession in internet related corporate expenditures.
David Stahl, music director of the Charleston Symphony Orchestra, said "Karen and I were shocked and saddened to hear the news. Ben had a brilliant mind and was a bright light filled with optimism and enthusiasm for the Charleston Symphony Orchestra. His love of good music and people was contagious. One always felt good talking to Ben. He was a very special person and will be sadly missed." At the Charleston Symphony Orchestra, Brecht was current Vice President of the Board of Directors and Chairman of Marketing Committee. He also served as a pro bono, consultant to many other Charleston area non-profits. He was a board member at Devocom Services, a human resources consulting company.
Prior to founding Opus Media, Mr. Brecht had served with distinction as Director, Digital and Multi-Media Communication at Blackbaud, Inc., Charleston. Blackbaud is the largest manufacturer of software for non-profit organizations in the world.
In New Orleans, before arriving in Charleston, Brecht had been a partner at the Pertuit Group, and advertising agency for whom he created a digital division.
In the late 1980's he was a touring musician based in New Orleans. He caught the attention of the legendary jazz great Ellis Marsalis and began undergraduate studies at the University of New Orleans, College of Music under Marsalis guidance. After 2 years there, he completed his studies with a B.A. degree in music at the University of California, Berkeley. He was a 1981 graduate of Cheltenham High School in suburban Philadelphia.
Known for his remarkable combination of kindness, generosity and genius by his family, friends and the many people who had the chance to work with him, people were drawn to his quick and gentle energy and his positive can-do nature. He gave tirelessly to his private sector interest, his civic involvement and his family. All who knew him or worked with him are enriched forever.
Memorial donations may be made in his name to the Charleston Symphony Orchestra, 14 George Street, Charleston, SC 29401. A service in his memory with music given by members of the Orchestra will be held at Circular Congregation Church, 150 Meeting Street, at 2PM on Wednesday, January 9th.
