When More Than was launched by RSA in 2001 its advertising campaign featured Lucky the Dog. The character became so popular he starred in more than 20 More Than ads.
The campaign, was produced by the advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather and, called Where's Lucky? Rather than look like a plug for insurance they looked like an appeal for information about a lost dog.
People were urged to go to the website WheresLucky.com which was actually the More Than website. In the first ad Lucky managed to drive his owner’s car home without crashing it. During this five year period, the company used the slogan, More Than Lucky.
In February 2011 More Than’s television advert ‘More Than Freeman’ starred Josh Robert Thompson using a speaking style to that of Morgan Freeman.

The Financial Ombudsman Service received 110 car insurance complaints about More Than owner Royal Sun Alliance in the first half of 2020. That gave RSA just over 2.2% of complaints but the insurer has more than 6% market share so it received a much smaller proportion of complaints than might be expected for its size. To put complaints in context, 67 firms had 10 or more complaints each and those totalled 4,550 complaints. Nearly 200 firms had fewer than 10 each, sharing just 479 complaints between them.
