Default Extract names from string based on value list

I have a list of productnames and a list of brandnames.

I want to supply the productnames with an attribute "Brand".

I am currently manually filtering the list of productnames based on
"Contains... Brand" and adding the Brand to the product using copy paste,
but this takes me too long and I can only match records one brand at a time.

Can I make Excell search through the list of productnames and whenever it
comes across a brandname within the string of a productname it will add it to
the column next to it?
