Extract string and place in new field

Trying to extract a string into a new field. A sample of log is as follows:

productName = Special Day Argyle Socks for Men (Special Day Argyle Socks Size 10-13)

| rex "productName\s=\s(?<ProductName>\s[\w\W]+)"

Not sure where to go from here. When I test within regex101, it works just fine. But when I move to Splunk i get nothing.

Update

Added this but now it doesn't stop at a new line

| rex "productName\s=\s(?<ProductName>[\w\W]+\n)"
